Huffpo Canada has some information about the big sale that I haven't heard elsewhere. In particular, what happens to the Sun News Network, which was not part of the deal.
The news network will be able to keep its name under a licensing agreement with Postmedia, which is buying 175 English-language Sun Media newspapers for $316 million.
However, Sun News Network must change its circular red logo within a year as part of the deal, the same logo used by the Sun chain of newspapers operating in Edmonton, Winnipeg, Calgary, Toronto and Ottawa.
My favorite bit:
Senior Conservative sources have told HuffPost that Sun News Network vice-president Kory Teneycke wants to re-launch the channel and was looking for investors to spin it off from Quebecor.
Anyone got a spare nickel?
25I have a spare nickel. But I'm really not interested in full ownership and there aren't any pennies anymore
