TORONTO, June 3, 2026 /CNW/ - Today, Global announced its 2026/27 broadcast season slate featuring four new U.S. acquisitions and the launch of two new Canadian productions. These new programs join Global's hit lineup, which holds 13 of the top 20 most-watched series this spring*. Global's fall 2026 schedule will deliver 16.5 hours of premium simulcast programming and is available to stream on STACKTV and the Global TV App. The new scripted programming acquisitions on Global kick off with NCIS: New York, which sees LL COOL J reprising his role as Special Agent Sam Hanna and also stars Scott Caan (Hawaii Five-O). This latest NCIS universe expansion follows Hanna (LL COOL J) as he returns to his hometown, New York City, and partners with a roguish special agent (Caan).Then, from Emmy® Award-nominated executive producers Robert and Michelle King and starring Mike Colter comes Cupertino. The show follows a wronged lawyer (Colter) as he partners with a promising young attorney (Rachel Keller) to stand up against the giants of Silicon Valley in a David vs. Goliath battle. Ella Stiller, Busy Phillips, Nik Dodani and Renee Elise Goldsberry also star recurring alongside many more guest stars still to be announced.Next up is new comedy Eternally Yours, from the executive producers of hit Global comedy Ghosts. This eternal love story is about two vampires, played by Ed Weeks and Allegra Edwards, who have been married for 500 years, living in present day Seattle with their oddball coven as they struggle to accept the human who is dating their daughter.Lastly for U.S. acquisitions on Global this season, Einstein, a new light-hearted drama starring Matthew Gray Gubler and Melissa Fumero, joins the roster mid-season. In Einstein, Gubler stars as the brilliant but directionless great-grandson of Albert Einstein, who is forced to put his reckless antics behind him, utilizing his genius to help solve crimes with a local police detective (Fumero).This fall also welcomes the premiere of the previously announced Global Original Private Eyes West Coast from Lionsgate Canada and Piller/Segan. Starring Jason Priestley and Cindy Sampson reprising their roles as Matt Shade and Angie Everett, the duo has traded Toronto for the West Coast, embracing a fresh start both personally and professionally. As they settle into life in Victoria and launch a brand-new P.I. firm, Shade and Angie navigate the growing pains of starting over in an unfamiliar city: balancing high-stakes cases, evolving relationships, and the challenge of building a new community from the ground up. Without their trusted Toronto network to lean on, the pair must rely on each other more than ever as they tackle a slate of adrenaline-fueled investigations. From tracking down a missing student deep in the B.C. wilderness to extracting a murder confession from a surfer in Tofino, Shade and Angie quickly discover that life on the West Coast comes with even bigger risks, higher stakes, and plenty of unexpected twists.Alongside these highly-anticipated new shows are Global's returning fall hits including the #1 reality series Survivor, #1 drama 9-1-1 and #1 new spring show CIA*. In addition, top 20-ranked series FBI, NCIS, NCIS: Origins, Sheriff Country and Elsbeth* all return as well as award-winning Abbott Elementary, plus heart-pounding Fire Country, and investigative, unscripted programming including Harlan Coben's Final Twist, 60 Minutes and Canadian original Crime Beat. Fan-favourite series on Global continue mid-season with the return of #1 comedy Ghosts, top 20-ranked Matlock and NCIS: Sydney* as well as Canadian Screen Award-nominated Murder in a Small Town.Corus also has plenty more to celebrate within its award-winning Global News portfolio, as the home to the #1 morning newscast, #1 noon newscast, and #1 national newscast**.

Spring 2026 Season to Date (January 5, 2026 to March 8, 2026) – confirmed until March 1, 2026, Adults aged 25-54, Monday-Sunday 2am-2am, Average Minute Audience (000), Canadian Specialty Commercial English.Financial HighlightsFree cash flow(1) of $1.3 million in Q2 and negative $52.3 million year-to-date compared to $46.0 million and $35.9 million, respectively, in the same comparable prior year periods. The decrease in free cash flow(1) for the second quarter is mainly attributable to lower cash provided by operating activities. The decrease in the year-to-date is mainly attributable to lower cash provided by operating activities and higher proceeds from sale of property in the prior year.Net debt to segment profit(1) was 6.70 times as at February 28, 2026, up from 6.01 times at August 31, 2025, as a result of the decrease in segment profit(1) and increase in the amount drawn under the revolving credit facility, offset by lower lease liabilities.As of February 28, 2026, the Company had $36.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $35.0 million available to be drawn under its Revolving Facility.On March 24, 2026, Corus received an order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) to proceed with its previously announced recapitalization transaction (the "Recapitalization Transaction"), pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The Recapitalization Transaction remains subject to, among other things, satisfaction of the terms and conditions in the support agreements with key stakeholders and the receipt of all customary and necessary regulatory approvals, including from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission and the Toronto Stock Exchange.(1)Free cash flow, segment profit and net debt to segment profit do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. The Company reports on these because they are key measures used to evaluate performance.

These discussions are important to understanding the assumptions and factors which may affect the Company's outlook and results and are incorporated by reference.Use of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis press release includes the non-GAAP or non-IFRS financial measures of segment profit (loss), segment profit margin, free cash flow, adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders, adjusted basic earnings (loss) per share, net debt to segment profit, as well as supplementary financial measures not presented in the financial statements such as new platform revenue. Non-GAAP or non-IFRS measures that are not in accordance with, nor an alternate to, generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and may be different from non-GAAP or non-IFRS measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have a material effect on the Company's reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate the Company's financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, IFRS financial results.

CORUS ENTERTAINMENT PROVIDES VOTING RESULTS AND UPDATE REGARDING PROPOSED RECAPITALIZATION TRANSACTIONJanuary 30, 2026 12:47 PM
PR Newswire (Canada)
TORONTO, Jan. 30, 2026 /CNW/ - Corus Entertainment Inc. ("Corus" or the "Company") (TSX: CJR.B) announced today the results of voting in respect of its proposed recapitalization transaction (the "Recapitalization Transaction") contemplated pursuant to a plan of arrangement under Section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "Arrangement") and as described in the management information circular of the Company dated January 2, 2026 (the "Circular"). Voting was completed by the holders of the Company's Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares (together, the "Shareholders") and the holders of the Company's outstanding unsecured senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of $750 million (the "Senior Notes", and such holders, the "Senior Noteholders") in respect of the Arrangement. Based on the voting results, the requisite number of votes cast to pass the resolution in support of the Arrangement was obtained by each of the Senior Noteholders and the Class A Shareholders but not by the Class B Non-Voting Shareholders (who were entitled to vote in this circumstance).Strong overall support; Company intends to seek Court approval of Recapitalization TransactionAs indicated by the voting results below, there is strong overall support for the Arrangement, which represents the outcome of an exhaustive review of alternatives by the board of directors of Corus (the "Board"). Pursuant to the Recapitalization Transaction, Corus seeks to reduce its total third-party debt and other liabilities by more than $500 million, decrease annual cash interest payments by up to $40 million, and preserve the Company in its vital role as a leading independent Canadian broadcaster."We continue to strongly believe that the Recapitalization Transaction is fair and reasonable and in the best interests of Corus and its stakeholders. It represents the best viable option to secure Corus' future while preserving the most shareholder value", said Mark Hollinger, Independent Lead Director of the Board. "In other restructuring scenarios, it is unlikely that shareholders will recover any amounts."As previously disclosed in the Circular, Corus may, pursuant to the Interim Order of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) made on December 17, 2025, seek Court approval of the Arrangement even if Shareholders do not pass the resolution. As such, Corus intends to seek such approval at a hearing that is currently scheduled for March 12, 2026. The Company will issue a further press release to the extent the date of the approval hearing changes.Corus continues to operate in the normal course of business with no changes to any obligations to its employees, audiences, partners, and stakeholders.Voting ResultsOf the votes cast at the meetings with respect to the Arrangement:an aggregate of 659,914,000 votes from Senior Noteholders were voted in favour of the Arrangement, representing 99.9% of the votes cast by Senior Noteholders;an aggregate of 3,251,646 Class A Voting Shares were voted in favour of the Arrangement, representing 99.7% of the votes cast by Class A Shareholders; 97.2% of all Class A Voting Shares outstanding were voted; andan aggregate of 35,751,739 Class B Non-Voting Shares were voted in favour of the Arrangement, representing 61.2% of the votes cast by Class B Non-Voting Shareholders; 29.8% of all Class B Non-Voting Shares outstanding were voted.
