The Canadian media and other things

An  earlier blog talked about the Canadian media.It mentioned that a few hands controlled most of the stations in the Canadian networks.Bell Media controls most Canadian stations and even a few specialty channels.Second would be C.B.C which recently lost a few stations in a budget cutback but still has quite a few stations,including the C.B.C French stations.There would be a toss-up between Telemedia(in Quebec) and Global T.V. lastly would be Corus with one or two stations.Radio stations are owned mostly by three or four networks.I myself have fairly good information on this area as I used to work for the C.R.T.C.Consequently I realize that there is excessive consolidation in the Canadian media.This results in one or two opinions only on each important matter and lack of diversity in Canada on many issues.
