Rogers buys Access
For the media geeks out there:
Rogers Media is expanding its television presence as the firm said Monday it is buying 10 stations and channels from CTVglobemedia Inc. for $137.5 million.
The stations and channels are held in trust for CHUM Ltd. CTVglobemedia said it would sell the assets as part of its takeover of CHUM.
The sale includes:
* A-Channel stations in Barrie, Ottawa, London, Windsor, Wingham and Victoria.
* CKX Television, an over-the-air CBC affiliate in Brandon.
* ACCESS Alberta, an educational service.
* CLT (Canadian Learning Television).
* SexTV, a digital specialty channel.
Wonder if they are going to turn Access into an OMNI station, like they have in TO and Van.
