Selkirk Communications

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Selkirk Communications was a Canadian radio and television broadcasting company, which operated from 1959 to 1989. Evolving out of Taylor, Pearson & Carson, a local broadcaster in Vancouver, British Columbia, the company grew to own 14 radio stations, six television stations (three wholly owned and three partially-owned) and cable television holdings across Canada, including a 7.5 per cent stake in CANCOM.[citation needed]

Selkirk was eventually acquired by Maclean-Hunter in 1988. When the sale was finalized the following year, Maclean-Hunter sold almost all of the company's broadcast properties to WIC and Rogers Communications, retaining ownership only of Selkirk's cable holdings and one radio station. Maclean-Hunter was itself acquired by Rogers in 1994.

Maclean-Hunter sold all of the Western Canadian stations to Rogers Communications, retaining ownership only of CFNY in Toronto.

All of Selkirk's television stations were sold to WIC by Maclean-Hunter; with WIC's subsequent acquisition by Canwest Global, all are now affiliates of Canwest's Global and CH networks.
