CUC Broadcasting


CUC Broadcasting was a Canadian media company, active from 1968 to 1995. Active primarily as a cable television distributor, the company also had some holdings in broadcast media and publishing.

The company was founded in 1968 by chairman Geoffrey Conway, with shareholders including Jerry Grafstein, Michael Koerner and Ken Lefolii.

The company's Trillium Cable division served several markets in Ontario, including Scarborough, Windsor, Barrie, Pickering, Chatham and Leamington, and was also a minority investor in other smaller cable companies, including Northern Cable in Northern Ontario,UMG Cable in Smiths Falls, Perth, Brockville, Cobourg and Port Hope, and several local systems in The Midlands region of England.

CUC's broadcasting holdings included radio stations CKLW and CKEZ in Windsor, and a 25 per cent founding stake in YTV, which had increased to 34 per cent by the company's dissolution in 1995. Through its share in Northern Cable, it also held a stake in that company's radio and television subsidiary Mid-Canada Communications until its share of that company was bought out by local shareholder Norman Bradley in 1989.
