Overview
The building serves as the official headquarters of Bell Canada's media unit, Bell Media, as well as the home of various Bell Media television properties, most of which were originally owned by CHUM, although some properties that CTV already owned prior to 2007 have moved some or all of their operations here since then as well. Current occupants include Bravo, BNN, CP24, The Comedy Network, Comedy Gold, E!, Investigation Discovery, MTV2, MuchMusic, MuchMore and Space. In addition, selected CTV programs, including eTalk and The Marilyn Denis Show, are produced at the building.
Despite a large CTV sign on its east façade, the CTV network itself and its Toronto station, CFTO-TV have relatively little presence at the Queen Street facility, apart from the aforementioned eTalk and Marilyn, as well as CTV Toronto's downtown bureau. The primary studios for CTV Toronto, and the CTV network's national operations are located at 9 Channel Nine Court at Highway 401 and McCowan Road in Scarborough, where most of the other Bell Media's co-owned channels such as CTV News Channel, Discovery Channel Canada, TSN, and their respective offshoot channels, as well as the master controls for the CTV stations in Eastern Canada, are located (see below).
Tours of the facilities are held regularly.
