Cogeco (TSX: CGO) is a Canadian media and communications company. The corporation first entered the television business in the mid-1950s with the launch of an SRC affiliate in Trois-Rivières, CKTM. Later the company expanded with the creation of CKSH in Sherbrooke, a radio network and diversification in the cable television industry.
Currently Cogeco co-owns the TQS network with Bell Globemedia, and eight television stations affiliated with both TQS and SRC.
Through its broadcast holdings, Cogeco Cable (TSX: CCA) is a major cable television distributor offering analog and digital television, as well as high-speed Internet services and VoIP telephony.
