text: NOTE 7: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS 
  
  We made several acquisitions in 2013, which we describe below. We 
  accounted for these using the acquisition method of accounting in 
  accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations, and included the 
  the acquired entities from the dates of 
  results of operations of 
  income. Goodwill 
  acquisition in our consolidated statements of 
  recognized on these acquisitions is not tax deductible. It represents the 
  expected operational synergies with the business acquired and/or 
  intangible assets that do not qualify to be recognized separately. 
  
  **Score Media Inc. (theScore)**
  On April 30, 2013, we received final regulatory approval to acquire 
  theScore. We had already paid $167 million on October 19, 2012 to 
  obtain 100% of the common shares of theScore. These shares were 
  held in trust until we received regulatory approval and obtained control 
  of the business. The acquisition builds on our sports broadcasting 
  capabilities and reinforces our delivery of premium sports content to its 
  audiences on their platform of choice. 
  
  **Transactions with Shaw Communications Inc. (Shaw)**
  In January 2013, we entered into an agreement with Shaw to secure an 
  option to purchase Shaw’s Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) spectrum 
  holdings in 2014, and to acquire Mountain Cable, Shaw’s cable system 
  in Hamilton, Ontario. As part of the agreement, Shaw acquired our 
  one-third equity interest in TVtropolis.
