who employs me

View Article  The parent company of my employer has rebranded

From globeandmail.com:

Bell is being dropped from the name and logo of the media company that owns The Globe and Mail and CTV, reflecting an ownership restructuring that began late last year. Starting in January, CTVglobemedia Inc. will replace Bell Globemedia as the company's name and logo, though Bell Canada owner BCE Inc. still owns 15 per cent of the business. In the restructuring, BCE reduced its stake in the operation and the Thomson family's Woodbridge Co. Ltd. increased its holding to 40 per cent. The Ontario Teachers Pension Plan bought 25 per cent and Torstar Corp. picked up the remaining 20 per cent. The media company is in the midst of buying the radio and television assets of CHUM Ltd. in a $1.4-billion deal.
