This is a list of assets owned by CTVglobemedia upon its acquisition to Bell Canada in 2011.

In early 2000, Bell Canada Enterprises (BCE) acquired CTV Inc. and bought The Globe and Mail from Thomson Corporation. The resulting company was named Bell Globemedia Inc. In January 2007, after BCE reduced its ownership in the company, it was renamed CTVglobemedia. In 2011, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission approved Bell Canada's re-acquisition of CTVglobemedia for CA$1.3 billion.[1] CTVglobemedia was subsequently renamed Bell Media on 1 April 2011.[2]
