CORUS TO OPPOSE ASTRAL'S APPLICATION CHALLENGING THE DIVESTITURE OF CORUS' QUEBEC RADIO STATIONS

TORONTO, Jan. 13 /PRNewswire/ - Corus Entertainment Inc. (TSX: CJR.B) will
oppose the applications filed yesterday by Astral Media Radio Inc.
("Astral") with the Federal Court of Appeal challenging the Canadian
Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission's ("CRTC") approval
of the sale of Corus' Quebec radio stations to COGECO Inc. The CRTC
decision approving the sale was issued on December 17, 2010.

Corus, like COGECO, considers that the applications filed by Astral are
without merit. Corus confirms that it will continue with the process to
effect the closing of the transaction on February 1, 2011.
