The first was the whopper—the denial in toto ofBCE Inc.’s application to acquire Astral Media and to flip its English-language TSN Radio (CKGM) Montreal to a French-language sports station. The whole story begins on Page 3. Immediately following the CRTC-BCE-Astral story is the intriguing tale of Western Canada-based Vista Radio’s acquisition—followed by the ap- proval of the CRTC—of Haliburton Broadcasting’s Ontario chain of small and medium market stations. The Westerkirk financial connection to Vista has a bit of intrigue attached in that the story of who purchased who BROADCAST might well have gone the other way around.
