Huh, me neither:

Thomson Reuters Corporation (/ˈrɔɪtərz/ ⓘ ROY-tərz) is a Canadian multinational content-driven technology conglomerate.[4] The company was founded in Toronto, Ontario, and maintains its headquarters in the city at 19 Duncan Street.

Reuters was not originally a Thomson family outfit but rather was purchased by them in 2008.
