TV Land Canada is a Canadian English language category 2 digital cable specialty channel that airs television series from the 1950s to 1980s.
[edit] History
TV Land Canada was licensed as Retro in November 2000 by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to Craig Media. Before the channel's launch, Craig reached an agreement with Viacom and sold a minority interest in Retro to Viacom and launched the channel in September 2001 as TV Land Canada.
On December 1, 2004, CHUM Limited bought Craig Media and therefore gained 80.1% of TV Land Canada's ownership and Craig's other assets. Ownership changed hands again on June 22, 2007 when CTVglobemedia gained control of CHUM Limited including 80.1% of TV Land Canada's ownership.
