Corus Entertainment (stylized as corus.) is a Canadian media and broadcasting company. Formed in 1999 as a spin-off from Shaw Communications, it is headquartered at Corus Quay in Toronto, Ontario, and has prominent holdings in the radio, publishing, and television industries. Corus Entertainment's voting majority is held by the company's founder JR Shaw and his family, and a 39% stake of Corus stock is owned by Shaw Communications.
Corus has a large presence in Canadian broadcasting, as owner of the national Global Television Network, 39 radio stations, and a portfolio of 45 specialty television services. Corus is especially prominent within the children's television market, through its ownership of the domestic YTV, Treehouse TV and Teletoon/Télétoon networks, localized versions of the Cartoon Network, Disney Channel, Disney Junior, Disney XD, Nickelodeon, and ABC Family brands, along with the animation studio Nelvana and book publisher Kids Can Press.
The second incarnation of Shaw's media division—formed from the properties of the defunct Canwest Global—was spun into Corus on April 1, 2016, giving it control of the over-the-air Global network, and 19 additional specialty channels.
