After a settlement following a lawsuit in 2011 with former co-owners Harold Balde and Anthony D'Andrea, "Channel Zero" created a new simplified ownership structure for all of "Channel Zero" licences, under the name 2308740 Ontario Inc.[1]
Channel Zero owns six specialty television channels, including three pornographic channels. CHCH Hamilton is the company's sole over-the-air station, which it acquired from Canwest[2] and took control of on August 31, 2009. It is an independent station licensed to Hamilton, Ontario and was previously an owned-and-operated station of the Canadian E! television system. As part of the same transaction, Channel Zero also acquired CJNT Montreal, which it later sold to Rogers Media in 2012.[3]
Ouat Media, established in 2006, specializes in distribution and worldwide sales of short films..[5]
