It's a good thing we have the CRTC to ensure there is no concentration of media ownership in Canada, eh?
Rogers Media is paying $375 million in cash for the five Citytv stations that the CRTC ordered CTVglobemedia to sell late last week.

Rogers already owns several over-the-air and specialty TV channels, including OMNI Television, Rogers Sportsnet, the Shopping Channel, and the Biography Channel. It also owns 44 radio stations and a host of magazine titles, such as Maclean's, Chatelaine, and Canadian Business.

And isn't it interesting that it seems to be the same owners doing all the changing?
Good thing we don't have oligarchies in Canada, eh?
