Bell Media Television

[edit]

Bell Media owns and operates 30 English language and five French language local conventional television stations under the CTV, CTV 2 and Noovo brands; 27 English language specialty channels, including Crave and TSN; and 12 French language specialty channels including Super Écran and RDS.

Bell Media's predecessors, including CTVglobemedia, previously held most of their television assets through a subsidiary, CTV Inc. (the former Baton Broadcasting Inc.). This entity was amalgamated with CTVglobemedia and other subsidiaries in early 2011, and briefly carried the "CTV Inc." name until being renamed Bell Media Inc. later that year.[1] All of Bell Media's conventional television licences are currently held directly by Bell Media Inc.[2]
