Quebecor Media

Quebecor Media Inc. is a broadcasting, communications and publishing company which operates various subsidiaries:

  • TVA Group (broadcasting, publishing & production)
  • Vidéotron (cable television and internet service provider)
  • Canoe Inc. (internet websites including Canoe.ca/Canoe.com portal and Archambault.ca)
  • TVA Publishing Inc. (largest magazine publishing company in Quebec)
  • Quebecor Media Book Group (book publishing companies)
  • Distribution Select (distributor of CDs and videos)
  • Le SuperClub Vidéotron (Movie rental stores)
  • Nurun Inc. (interactive agency)
  • Sponsorship

    The company has also recently began a push towards sports; it acquired the naming rights and a management contract for the Videotron Centre, currently own the Quebec Remparts of the QMJHL, and have backed a proposed National Hockey League expansion franchise in Quebec City (which would bring the NHL back to the city for the first time since the Quebec Nordiques were relocated in 1995, and would play at the new arena), and launched a TVA-branded sports network in 2011. On July 20, 2015, Quebecor officially submitted its application for an NHL expansion team in Quebec City. The application has since passed two phases of league scrutiny, with a final decision expected in early 2016.

    Former Prime Minister of Canada Brian Mulroney serves as chair of the board.

    Current members of the board of directors of Quebecor Inc. are: Françoise Bertrand, Jean La Couture, Sylvie Lalande, Pierre Laurin, A. Michel Lavigne, Geneviève Marcon, Brian Mulroney, and Normand Provost.
