History of Shaw
The company started as the ‘Capital Cable Television Company, Ltd.’ in Edmonton, Alberta in 1966. It is founded by James Robert Shaw, also known as JR Shaw, a Canadian businessman and was the executive chairman of the company.
It was initially a subsidiary of the Canadian oilfield services company Shawcor Ltd., which is owned by JR Shaw’s father. It was split from Shawcor in the 1970s, then changes its name to Shaw Cablesystems Ltd, and went public in 1983. The company acquired multiple businesses in other regions of Canada in the industry of television services and telecommunications. The company also owned cable systems in the US.
It was in 2012 when the company decided to have a major rebranding, including the introduction of an updated logo and slogan. Moving forward to the current generation, Rogers announced to acquire Shaw for reportedly $26 million on March 15, 2021, which is still subject to regulatory and shareholder approval.
