Forward- looking information may relate to COGECO’s future outlook and anticipated events, business, operations, financial performance, financial condition or results and, in some cases, can be identified by terminology such as "may"; "will"; "should"; "expect"; "plan"; "anticipate"; "believe"; "intend"; "estimate"; "predict"; "potential"; "continue"; "foresee", "ensure" or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In particular, statements regarding the Company’s future operating results and economic performance and its objectives and strategies are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain factors and assumptions including expected growth, results of operations, performance and business prospects and opportunities, which COGECO believes are reasonable as of the current date. While management considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to the Company, they may prove to be incorrect. Forward-looking information is also subject to certain factors, including those described in the “Uncertainties and Main Risk Factors” section starting on page 14 of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) that could cause actual results to differ materially from what COGECO currently expects. These factors include technological changes, changes in market and competition, governmental or regulatory developments, general economic conditions, the development of new products and services, the enhancement of existing products and services, and the introduction of competing products having technological or other advantages, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Therefore, future events and results may vary significantly from what management currently foresees. The reader should not place undue importance on forward-looking information and should not rely upon this information as of any other date. While management may elect to, the Company is under no obligation (and expressly disclaims any such obligation), and does not undertake to update or alter this information before the next quarter. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s management’s discussion and analysis, consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Throughout this discussion, all amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

    Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2010-942 PDF version Route reference: 2010-543 Additional reference: 2010-543-1 Ottawa, 17 December 2010 Corus Entertainment Inc., on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiaries 591991 B.C. Ltd. and Metromedia CMR Broadcasting Inc. Montréal, Longueuil, Saint-Jérôme, Trois-Rivières, Sherbrooke, Lévis, Québec and Gatineau, Quebec Application 2010-1092-5, received 30 June 2010 Public Hearing in Montréal, Quebec 28 September 2010 Transfer of effective control of various commercial radio programming undertakings from Corus Entertainment Inc. to Cogeco inc. The Commission approves in part an application by Corus Entertainment Inc. (Corus), on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiaries 591991 B.C. Ltd. and Metromedia CMR Broadcasting Inc., to transfer their ownership and control of Corus to Cogeco inc. (Cogeco). The Commission approves, by majority decision, Cogeco’s request to be granted an exception to the Common Ownership Policy (the Policy) in relation to the number of radio stations that it is authorized to operate in the Montréal radio market. The Commission relies on guidelines in the form of regulatory policies, information bulletins or other non-mandatory measures to guide it in exercising its discretionary authority. Such documents serve, among other things, to publicly inform applicants, as well as the general public, concerning the position it proposes to take on a matter. The Commission may not, however, use such instruments to limit the discretion granted to it by Parliament. Therefore, where there is a clearly established rule, the Commission must strike a balance between consistency in its decisions and the need to consider each application on its merits, based on the circumstances specific to that application.
