Univision Canada is a Canadian Category B Spanish language specialty channel owned by Telelatino Network Inc, a consortium primarily owned by Corus Entertainment, in partnership with Univision Communications, the leading Spanish language media company in the United States. Univision Canada broadcasts a variety of programming, ranging from news, dramas, talk shows, sports, and more.
History
In September 2006, Telelatino Network was granted approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch a television channel called Spanish Entertainment TV 1, described as "a national, ethnic Category 2 specialty programming service devoted to the Spanish-speaking community with a particular emphasis on programming of interest to female and youth audiences."[1]
The channel launched on October 23, 2007 as TLN en Español.[2]
On January 28, 2014, Corus announced that they would rebrand the network Univision Canada after reaching a brand licensing agreement with their long term partner, Univision Communications, which, outside of fringe reception of Seattle Univision affiliate KUNS-TV into the Vancouver market and Cleveland, Ohio owned and operated station WQHS-DT into parts of the London, Ontario market, has no presence of their main American network into Canada.[3] The channel officially switched over to Univision Canada on May 5, 2014.[4]
Programming
Univision Canada airs programming from Univision, the most popular Spanish-language television network in the United States.
