The Commission approves the application by CTV Television Inc. (CTV Television), on behalf of The Comedy Network Inc. (Comedy) to effect a corporate reorganization that will result in the transfer to CTV Television of the assets of the national English-language specialty programming undertaking known as The Comedy Network (TCN).

As a result of the corporate reorganization Comedy will be wound up into its parent company CTV Television.

The Commission will issue a licence to CTV Television once the current licence issued to Comedy has been surrendered to the Commission.
