Cogeco

Encyclopedia : C : CO : COG : Cogeco


Cogeco is a Canadian media 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 six television stations affiliated with both TQS and SRC.

As well as its broadcast holdings, Cogeco is also a major cable television distributor offering analog and digital television, as well as high-speed Internet services and VoIP telephony. It is the second largest cable system operator in both Ontario and Québec, and the fourth largest in Canada.
