CanWest Global Communications will seek court protection under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act.

The financially beleaguered Winnipeg-based company has been struggling under a mountain of debt for some time... and will file for creditor protection under a deal with a key group of creditors as it seeks Canadian court approvals for a restructuring.

Among the company's assets filing for creditor protection are Global Television, a number of other tv properties and the National Post.

CanWest has been selling pieces of its business in recent weeks to show lenders that it's making progress on reworking its operations.
