CHUM Limited owns various national networks including Citytv, A-Channel, Muchmusic, various specialty and radio holdings.This announcement was a shocker to a lot of people, many of whom expressed concerned at the potential outcome.
CTV does this in its own way but I can accurately project that in the event where CHUM and Bell Globemedia were to merge, they would be the same type of loss of content that I experience with CH and Canwest.
With CHUM and Bell Globemedia having very similar holdings, the ability for the larger (Bell) to simply absorb and liquidate CHUM Holdings to remove it as a competitor is very easy.
