Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Bell Media
media broadcasting enterprise canada
BELL-MEDIA is operated by Bell Media Inc., the mass media subsidiary of BCE Inc.
What it's used for
- The address space carries internal corporate infrastructure for television broadcasting and digital media, evidenced by netnames
NETBLK-TSN-JLL-CAandCTV. - With 2560 IPv4 addresses across 7 prefixes and only 1 observed neighbour, this is a small, isolated internal estate rather than a transit or access network.
- Traffic consists of internal office workers, production systems, and web/API endpoints supporting Bell Media's television, radio, and digital content operations.
Notable
- Registrants align with the announcer, listing both Bell Media Inc. and CTV Television Network Limited, reflecting the corporate structure where CTV is a brand under Bell Media.
- The inventory is finely subdivided into small /23 and /24 blocks, consistent with site-by-site segmentation for a large media conglomerate.
- The AS has been visible in routing tables since 2012, indicating a long-standing dedicated allocation for the media division.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,781 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
