Quebecor Inc. is a communications company based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It has been spelled Quebecor in both English and French until May 2012 when shareholders voted to add the acute accent, Québecor, in French only.
It was founded by Pierre Péladeau, and remains run by his family. Quebecor Inc. owns 75% of Quebecor Media and also formerly owned the printing company Quebecor World.
Quebecor Media Inc. is a broadcasting, communications and publishing company which operates various subsidiaries:
The company has also recently began a push towards sports; it acquired the naming rights and a management contract for the Videotron Centre, currently own the Quebec Remparts of the QMJHL, and have backed a proposed National Hockey League expansion franchise in Quebec City (which would bring the NHL back to the city for the first time since the Quebec Nordiques were relocated in 1995, and would play at the new arena), and launched a TVA-branded sports network in 2011. On July 20, 2015, Quebecor officially submitted its application for an NHL expansion team in Quebec City. The application has since passed two phases of league scrutiny, with a final decision expected in early 2016.
Former Prime Minister of Canada Brian Mulroney serves as chair of the board.
