Corus Entertainment

Background
Corus Entertainment is a Canadian television company that was founded on September 1, 1999 as a spin off from Shaw Communications, based in Toronto, Ontario. It acquired Power Corporation's broadcasting division soon after it spun off. In 2000, it later participated in the break-up of Western International Communications along with Canwest Global and sister company Shaw, Corus acquired WIC's 12 radio stations and some of its specialty channels. At the end of 2000, Corus acquired Nelvana Limited. In 2001, Corus sold its stake in Family Channel to Astral Media, giving them full ownership, and swapped Viewers Choice Western Canada to Shaw in exchange for the Women's Television Network (now W Network).

During their lifespan, Corus has made various acquisitions, partnerships, and divestitures ever since. The company launched Disney Channel in Canada on September 1, 2015, taking over the contract from DHX Media. On April 1, 2016, Corus acquired competing broadcaster Shaw Media, and the company changed its logo for the first time in 17 years. In June 2019, the company partnered with Amazon Prime Video to launch the streaming service StackTV, offering live and on-demand content from Global and 15 of Corus' specialty services.
