>From the article, what seemed to sway the regulators here was that it was one of the dominant English language media companies (two national TV networks, one of the national newspapers, a major cable net player, major radio stations, including one that's a player in the Detroit market in modern rocker 91X) merging with a dominant French language media company, with an additional and noteworthy presence in English language broadcasting (as Canada's largest radio operator). Not a monopoly, as long as CBC-TV airs commercials (and if the CBC's Radio 2 net is allowed to start running ads) and CanWest Global's in business, but close enough, particularly in Quebec.
