		CHUM's widely anticipated takeover of Craig is portrayed by analysts and industry executives as a relatively small deal for a company that was always the natural buyer for financially troubled Craig.
		The Craig assets in Alberta and Manitoba are essentially being "tucked into" the larger network, says one senior executive with a rival company, pointing out that CHUM had no choice after losing recent applications for new Alberta TV licences.
		Quebecor's media unit is going through its own upheaval, with a new CEO, and it has a shortage of senior executives with experience in the English-language TV market.
