Quebecor Inc's news channel Sun News Network has shut down after searching for a potential suitor for months, Sun Media Corp said on Friday.
"Over the past four years, we tried everything we could to achieve sufficient market penetration to generate the profits needed to operate a national news channel," Sun Media Chief Executive Julie Tremblay told Reuters. The network went off the air at 5 a.m. after 46 months on the air.
Sun News employs about 200 people.
