 PROFILE
Entertainment in the great white north is divided along an east-west line. Shaw Communications, Canada's #2 cable TV operator, swapped systems with #1 Rogers to split the country: Shaw in western provinces and Rogers in the east. The two cable titans also cooperate on Internet portal ventures. With this reshuffling and some acquisitions, Shaw has about 2.8 million customers for its cable TV, Internet, and satellite services. The company expanded further in 2001 by buying TV programming and satellite services provider Canadian Satellite Communications (Cancom). Chairman J. R. Shaw and family own 76% of Shaw Communications.
