  Sun Media - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sun Media Corporation is the owner of several widely read Canadian tabloid newspapers.
On August 20, 2004, it was announced that Sun Media would purchase a minority interest in Toronto One, a television station in Toronto, Ontario.
At present, Sun Media is largely absent from the Vancouver, British Columbia newspaper market, aside from the minor 24 Hours paper; establishing a Sun newspaper there has proven difficult due to the existence of both the broadsheet Vancouver Sun and the tabloid Vancouver Province, both of which are owned by CanWest Global.

 Toronto Sun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sun was first published on November 1, 1971, the Monday after the demise of the Toronto Telegram, a conservative broadsheet newspaper.
The Toronto Sun is modeled on British tabloid jouralism, even borrowing the name of the London Sun, and some of the features, including the Sunshine Girl, who was on the same page as the English paper (note that the Toronto paper has never had a "Topless" Sunshine Girl, unlike the London Sun).
The Winnipeg Sun was originally launched by independent interests, only later coming under common ownership to the Toronto Sun, which subsequently elicited a redesign in Sun Media style.

 Sun Media shareholders await Torstar takeover bid
Sun Media's major institutional shareholders, Talvest Fund Management Inc., Trimark Investment Management Inc. and Ontario Teachers Pension Plan Board, appear to be sitting back to see what the options are before rendering a judgment.
A Teachers spokeswoman said much the same and Sun Media followed the announcement that Torstar was mailing its bid by advising shareholders to wait until the board makes a formal recommendation, which must be given 10 days after the mailing of the bid.
Sun Media's chain of tabloids, famous for their cheeky reporting, right-wing politics and sexy page three "Sunshine Girls", would be an odd bedfellow for the strait-laced Toronto Star.

 LinuxElectrons - Sun's "Open Media Commons" Is More Like a Gated Community   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
However, Sun has offered no evidence that its DRM system will be any better than the Microsoft DRM that it's supposed to challenge.
The only reason to build DRM is to trade your users' freedoms for a bit of favor from the entertainment companies, a promise that they'll generously allow your record player to play their records -- provided it meets with their approval.
Sun says one of its goals with Open Media Commons is specifying "open, royalty-free digital rights management and codec standards" to "ensure intellectual property protection." The problem with this approach is that making DRM "open" and "royalty-free" doesn't make it any less capable of restricting the public's rights under copyright.
