This is going to be a bit tricky. Teletoon's (Canada) English feed has been rebranded to Cartoon Network. Normally, I would just recommend renaming the current encyclopedia entry to "Cartoon Network (Canada)," but there's an existing Cartoon Network (Canada) that's rebranded to Boomerang. If that wasn't enough, the new Cartoon Network (Canada) is legally part of the same channel as Teletoon's (Canada) French feed, which retains its original name.

company#584 to Cartoon Network (Canada) with all existing entries put under, "As Teletoon (Canada)." Will that allow new French entries to be added to the page as long they're properly linked to Teletoon?

company#12358 to Boomerang (Canada) with all existing entries put under, "As Cartoon Network (Canada)."

Unfortunately, company aliases are not something the database really supports right now. It's possible to merge two companies into one, but I believe it will always show with the "master" name. I've heard (but cannot verify) that the admins can override this, and make a true company alias, but it's not something I can do as an editor.
