Canwest subsequently began acquiring some of the stations that carried Global programming, including CKVU-TV Vancouver and CIHF-TV [[Halifax]], as well as launching stations in [[Saskatchewan]] under the branding of STV, to form the Canwest Global System, a system of independent stations with individual branding for each station, in 1990. Following the acquisition of majority ownership in [[Quebec City]]'s then-[[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|CBC]] affiliate CKMI-TV and relaunching it as a Global station, the system relaunched as a network on August 18, 1997, using the generic Global TV brand (with no regional branding variations) on all of its owned stations from Vancouver to Halifax. Canwest went into creditor protection in October 2009 and its assets, including Global TV, were acquired by Shaw Communications in October 2010, then were turned over in turn to Shaw sister company Corus in April 2016.

From its 1974 launch, Global has grown to its current level of 12 stations owned by Corus, along with two independently-owned affiliates. [[St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador]] independent station CJON-DT is also supplied with some Global programming, though it is not branded as such on the station (except for national newscast ''Global National'') but is instead marketed as syndicated programming.
