Selkirk Communications


Selkirk Communications was a Canadian radio and television broadcasting company, which operated from 1959 to 1989. Evolving out of Taylor, Pearson & Carson, a local broadcaster in Vancouver, British Columbia, the company grew to own 14 radio stations, six television stations (three wholly owned and three partially owned) and cable television holdings across Canada, including a 7.5 per cent stake in CANCOM.

Selkirk was eventually acquired by Maclean-Hunter in 1988. When the sale was finalized the following year, Maclean-Hunter sold almost all of the company's broadcast properties to WIC and Rogers Communications, retaining ownership only of Selkirk's cable holdings and one radio station. Maclean-Hunter was itself acquired by Rogers in 1994.

Maclean-Hunter sold all of the Western Canadian stations to Rogers Communications, retaining ownership only of CFNY in Toronto.

All of Selkirk's television stations were sold to WIC by Maclean-Hunter.
