Selkirk Communications
Selkirk Communications was a Canadian radio and television broadcasting company, which operated from 1959 to 1989. Evolving out of Taylor, Pearson & Carson, a local broadcaster in Vancouver, British Columbia, the company grew to own 14 radio stations, six television stations (three wholly-owned and three partially-owned) and cable television holdings across Canada.
Selkirk was eventually acquired by Maclean-Hunter in 1988. When the sale was finalized the following year, Maclean-Hunter sold many of the company's properties to WIC, but retained some others until Maclean-Hunter was itself acquired by Rogers Communications in 1994.
