User:Lolcatistan/Canadian TV networks

(Anglophone only, since I'm not Quebecois; the French networks are the same as IOTL.)

CBC

 * Canada's Own.
 * Still state-owned.

CTV

 * Still owned by Bell Media.
 * Has a kids' block, CTV Kids.

NTV

 * Owned by Channel Zero.
 * Basically CHCH if it had its own proper network.

Global

 * Still owned by Corus (and before them, Shaw, and before them, CanWest.)
 * Corus itself is 45% owned by the American-Japanese-ElKadsreian-British conglomerate ArgosyMTM Group.

Central

 * Loosely based on Ethan's version from FTVSW, but without the whole US expansion plot tumour.
 * Owned by TELUS, and based in Vancouver, counter-balancing CBC, CTV, NTV, and Global being based in Toronto. (TELUS itself is owned 30% by CenturyLink aka Cogent aka PSInet aka MTMnet aka Excite@Home, itself part of the ArgosyMTM conglomerate.)
 * Initially an independent station in Vancouver with lots of repeaters across BC, like how Global started both IOTL and ITTL.

TVA English

 * Owned by Quebecor.
 * Basically an Anglophone version of the Francophone TVA network, and uses the exact same branding.

CityTV

 * Still owned by Rogers.

CBC2

 * A failed proposal IOTL, but ITTL, actually exists.

CTV2

 * Formed when the A-Channel and E! systems merged in 2011.
 * Basically, well, CTV too.

The New Network

 * Owned by TELUS along with Central.
 * Never became A-Channel ITTL, with A instead retaining its original Alberta stations.

OMNI

 * Still owned by Rogers, still legally a "multicultural" network, and still effectively an American syndicated rerun farm.

Fox Canada

 * Owned by Corus under a brand licensing agreement with TwenCen Media.
 * Basically a Canadian version of the US FOX network.
