Bell Media: Difference between revisions

'''Bell Media''' is a large Canadian broadcasting and television production company, a subsidiary of Bell Canada. The current entity derives from [[CTV Productions|CTV]], formerly Baton Broadcasting, and was introduced in 2011, after Bell Canada replaced assets of [[CTVglobemedia]] on April 1, 2011. On March 16, 2012, Bell Media announced that Montreal-based [[Astral Media]] accepted a takeover bid for an estimated value at $3.38 billion. The deal was approved on June 27, 2013, and completed on July 5, 2013.

'''Logo:''' We see a close-up view on a big blue "B" letter, standing on a surface. Then we move right and the name zooms out, reading "'''{{color|dodgerblue|Bell}} Media'''". It also seems to cast a vague reflection on the floor.

'''Variant:''' This logo can also be seen on some station IDs of the era. At the end of the ID for a network (For example, [[CTV IDs|CTV]], Much, or CTV News Network), the bumper would appear on a TV resting on top of the two Ls in "'''{{color|dodgerblue|Bell}}'''".

'''Availability:''' Common. Replaces the CTV logo on ''The Listener'' starting from mid-season two, on ''Flashpoint'', ''The Sanctuary'', and newer episodes of ''Degrassi'' (TeenNick airings don't have that logo) until 2013. Also appears on The ''L.A. Complex'' and the best picture award-winning nominated short minifilm ''Lay Them Straight''.

'''Logo:''' We see a close-up view of the 'e' in the Bell logo, forming as light flickers and shines through it on the white surface from before. We then cut to a full view of the Bell Media logo from before as it finishes appearing and the light slowly dies, with just a small flash left below "Bell" as we zoom out. "ORIGINAL PRODUCTION" is below.

'''Logo:''' We move across the Bell logo as it forms like the previous logo, albeit in 2D this time around. The "M" in "Media" can be seen on the right, but we soon fade to white and then to the Bell Media print logo zooming out to the top of the screen. "Studios" zooms out below it, and "ORIGINAL PROGRAMMING", stacked, fades in at the very bottom, stretching out a bit.
