Maclean Photo was a printer active in Beaver Mine, ON.

Maclean-Hunter Limited was renamed "Maclean Hunter Limited" in 1981. In 1982, the company acquired a controlling interest in Sun Media; ownership of the Financial Post was transferred to Sun Media in 1987 to facilitate the publication's expansion from a weekly to a daily newspaper.

By the early 1990s, Maclean Hunter's assets also included cable television services in 35 Ontario markets, 21 radio stations, television station CFCN in Calgary and a significant minority share in CTV.

Maclean Hunter was acquired in 1994 by Rogers Communications. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission approved the transaction, but required Rogers to divest itself of some of Maclean Hunter's individual assets to alleviate concerns about concentration of media ownership. Shaw Communications acquired some of the cable holdings and radio stations, Telemedia and Blackburn Radio acquired other radio stations, and the consortium of Baton Broadcasting and Electrohome acquired CFCN and the CTV shares. Sun Media was sold in an employee buyout in 1996.

Maclean Hunter also had cable holdings in the United States, which were acquired by Comcast in 1994.

Maclean Hunter lives on in the publication Maclean's magazine.

The former assets of Maclean Hunter was sold by Rogers to St. Joseph Communications in March 2019.
