Radio Conglomerate

[e-dawg]

With US have Clear Channel, Cumulus, CBS RADIO, Entercom, COX, and Media General as their media conglomerate. What are the Canadian version of Conglomerates?

Bell Media (Astral and CHUM radio merge, if approved).
Rogers Communications
Corus Radio
Jim Patterson Media
Newcap
Evanov Communications
Rawlco Radio
Gloden West Media

Any others?

Actually. Evanov is a smaller company...still growing!
I think they're still smaller than NewCap.
This question is being asked too early.
Let's just wait and see who buys Flow & Boom (in Toronto) first!
Will it be NewCap? They do not own any radio stations in Toronto, currently.
Evanov could buy, and declare that at least ONE of their stations is not really a Toronto station.
(They might get away with it under the two am and two FM per market rule)
Or will it be someone else?
Without knowing who's buying, it's hard to answer this question!

Evanov probably could get away with it if they entirely moved their operations for Z103.5 to Orangeville, and/or Jewel to Newmarket.

However I think Newcap is a likely buyer.
