(Toronto, Ontario – March 25, 2019) — Three longstanding community shareholder families, together with the President of Telelatino Network Inc. (TLN), have completed the buyback of the 50.5% interest in TLN originally acquired by Corus Entertainment Inc. over 17 years ago. Going forward, the company will officially be known as TLN Media Group.
According to TLN President Aldo Di Felice, “With this consolidation we have created ownership certainty and security. The organization now sits on a solid and established footing and can focus on the future development of ethnic media in Canada. The Di Battista, Rosati and Joseph Vitale families are well known for their business success, community involvement and charitable efforts. They were early investors in TLN and have remained committed supporters for 3 decades. I am pleased to partner with them and continue to develop TLN Media Group into an even more influential Canadian independent multicultural media organization. We are proud to be serving ethno-culturally diverse communities and Canadians at large. Bridging cultures and communities has always been our strength. Now more than ever we intend to play a growing role in the development of Canada’s multicultural society.”
