The latest financial summaries for the Canadian television and radio sectors are out. Most are unsurprising, but let's take a look:

 

  • Cable, satellite, IPTV subscribers are dropping 1% a year. (A good majority of Canadians are still paying for pay-TV)
  • Private TV industry lost $121 million in 2016, and $719 million over the last 5 years. Radio made $436 million in profit.
  • Subscriptions and on-demand television made $1 billion in profit last year.

 

Bell Media (CTV and CTV Two): $33M loss

Corus Entertainment (Global): $43M loss

Rogers Media (Citytv and Omni): $35M loss, of which $24M is from City stations except SCN

Quebecor Media (TVA [French]): $0.7M profit

Remstar (V [French]): $2M profit

 

Rogers gets $8.9 million a year from distant signal retransmission royalties for Citytv and Omni.
