text: **Private Companies**
  In October 2012, Media completed the purchase of 100% of the 
  outstanding shares of theScore for $167 million. The shares were 
  transferred to an interim CRTC-approved trust which was responsible 
  for the independent management of the business in the normal course 
  of operations until final approval by the CRTC was obtained. The shares 
  were accounted for as an investment in a private company as at 
  December 31, 2012. 
  
  Certain of our joint ventures have non-controlling shareholders that 
  have a right to require our joint venture to purchase the non-controlling 
  interest at a future date. 
  
  In 2013, we received final regulatory approval to transfer the Score 
  Media Inc. business under the control of Rogers and we accounted for 
  the acquisition of control under IFRS 3 (note 7).
