Telemedia was a Canadian media company, which had holdings in radio, television and magazine publishing.

The company was launched in 1968 by Philippe de Gaspé Beaubien.

Telemedia was held privately until it became publicly traded in the late 1980's.

Telemedia's magazine assets, including Canadian Living, Harrowsmith and the Canadian editions of TV Guide and ELLE, were sold to Transcontinental Media in 2000. Standard Broadcasting subsequently acquired Telemedia's broadcasting assets in 2002, and sold some of them in turn to Rogers Communications and Newcap Broadcasting.

Although Newcap acquired the majority interest in these stations, all of which are in Alberta, Standard Broadcasting retained a 23.66% share. All are now wholly owned by Newcap.

NOTES: 1 Telemedia held the license for this station, which had not yet launched at the time of its acquisition.
