Telegram Corporation


Telegram Corporation was a Canadian media company created under a joint venture between John W. H. Bassett's Toronto Telegram newspaper and businessman John [David Eaton], as one of three co-owners of CFTO-TV in 1960. When the Toronto Telegram was shut down in 1971, the company was renamed Baton Broadcasting Incorporated.
Baton Broadcasting was renamed once again to Baton [Broadcast System] in 1994. The Eatons sold their media stake in 1998, and the Bassetts retained sole control of BBS. That same year, BBS was renamed CTV.
