4 companies control most of Canada's media. - Quebecor, CTV/Globe Media, Rogers, CanWest. Some of the local markets are the most concentrated in the world, I believe Canwest controls about 75% of Vancouver media for example. That study was used because it was the most recent and comprehensive study of journalists in years. I provided other examples to back it up. The IFC thing is significant as it is a station provides good political documentaries - Canwest who will own it, are know for being very conservative and pushing these views in their media - not unlike Rupert Murdoch. thanks for the reviews
