Corus Entertainment Inc. reported Friday that it had begun to recover some of the losses of the earlier stages of the pandemic, with bleeding stopped in its television segment. The company posted second quarter television revenues of $338.5 million, a mere three per cent drop from the $347.8 million it posted this time last year, the last quarter before the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in Canada.

Radio continued to struggle, with revenue in the quarter down 28 per cent to $20.4 million, from $28.2 million last year, and profits down 69 per cent to 1.4 million, from the 4.6 million the company pulled in on radio for the three months ending Feb. 29 last year. The company's margin on its television profits was...
