This network map shows who owns what newspapers, TV and radio stations, and other media properties in Canada. The arrows show ownership and affiliate relationships, e.g. Torstar owns part of CTVglobemedia, which owns the CHUM radio network, which owns CKCE-FM in Calgary.
The clusters to the left represent independent media with few or no relationships to other companies. Many specialty TV channels are joint ventures by two or more companies, so they appear clustered in the middle of the map.
The size of the nodes represents the number of immediate relationships, not the size of the company, e.g. there are many Metroland Community Newspapers so it appears as a large node, but they're all owned by Toronto Star Newspapers Ltd., which in turn is owned by Torstar.
Hover over a network node to see what company or media property it represents. Click on it to highlight it and its neighbours. You can zoom in on an area of the map by clicking and dragging, or by using the scroll wheel on your mouse. You can move around the map by right-clicking and dragging.
