Bell Media is Canada's largest mass media company and is one-half of MegaCorp holding company BCE (Bell Canada Enterprises), the other being telecommunications company Bell Canada. The company was originally established as Bell Globemedia in 2001. In 2006, it acquired the assets of CHUM Limited, including the A-Channel television system, Creator/{{MuchMusic}}, and Creator/SpaceChannel. As a condition imposed by the CRTC, Bell would sell Creator/{{Citytv}} to Rogers Communications. To pay for this deal, BCE would sell off its shares and, with its reduced ownership, the company was renamed [=CTVglobemedia=] in 2007. BCE would ultimately re-acquire full ownership of the company in 2011, when it adopted its current name.
