While most of Canada's high-circulation newspapers and chains were acquired by large media conglomerates during the 1990s in a process called 'convergence' (the Globe and Mail by BCE, the National Post by CanWest Global), Torstar, the Toronto Star's parent company, has limited itself to several Southern Ontario local newspapers and various publishing ventures, including Harlequin romance novels. However, it has launched a license-exempt infomercial channel on Southern Ontario cable television systems (featuring rolling news at a certain point of the hour), and has attempted to win television licenses in Toronto and nearby cities.
