35 Dundas Street East is an office building in Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. First built in 2004, the building was initially home to Olympic Spirit Toronto, an Olympic-themed entertainment attraction until 2006. The building was recently acquired by Rogers Communications as the new home of its four broadcast television stations and one radio station in the city.
The building is located east of Yonge Street on Dundas Square, near the Toronto Eaton Centre and Toronto Life Square.
Rogers Communications
On October 22, 2007, Rogers Media, the new owners of Citytv, announced an agreement to purchase the building to house its Toronto television stations CITY-TV, CityNews Channel [1], CFMT-TV and CJMT-TV, as well as a sports radio station The Fan 590. Rogers Media's $375 million purchase of Citytv in June 2007 came after the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ordered CTVglobemedia to sell the Citytv stations as part of a $1.4 billion takeover of CHUM Limited.
The former CHUM-owned television channels now owned by CTV, such as CP24, MuchMusic, MuchMore, Star!, Bravo! and Space, are expected to remain at 299 Queen Street West.
Rogers Media's headquarters, where The Biography Channel Canada, OLN and G4 Canada are based, will remain at the CFMT Building at Bathurst and Fleet Streets. The Rogers Communications headquarters, where the other radio stations will remain, is located at the Rogers Building at Bloor and Jarvis Streets.[2] [3] [4]
The stations are expected to move into the facility by September 8, 2009.[5] As of March 2008, the building has a large banner on it featuring the Citytv and OMNI Television logos, as well as advertising posters for Citytv, OMNI Television and the other Rogers-owned station's programming.
