History

In 1987, the channel was planned to be named. Shaw Communications named it YTV: The Youth Television. In 1988, The Youth Television was just YTV.

Launched on September 1, 1988, YTV was the successor to two prior special programming services operated by various Ontario cable companies beginning in the late 1970s. Events 462 - Possible start of first Byzantine indiction cycle. Year 1988 ( MCMLXXXVIII) was a Leap year starting on Friday (link displays 1988 Gregorian calendar) This article is about the Decade 1970-1979 For the Year 1970 see 1970. Not surprisingly, then, the two largest shareholders in YTV were two cable companies, Rogers Cable and a company known as CUC Broadcasting which would later be acquired by Shaw Communications. Rogers Cable Inc, a subsidiary of Rogers Communications Inc is Canada 's largest Cable television service provider with about 2 CUC Broadcasting was a Canadian media company Primarily a Cable television distributor which operated under the name Trillium Cable, CUC was also a minority Shaw Communications is a Canadian Telecommunications company that provides telephone internet and television services By about 1995, through various acquisitions and trades, Shaw had secured full control of YTV; it was spun off as part of Corus in 1999.

After Corus took control of the channel in 1999, YTV began to utilize a Nickelodeon-style "gross-out" factor in its branding, albeit with much less slime, with its mantra (and former slogan) being "Keep It Weird". Nickelodeon (commonly referred to as Nick) is an American Cable television network owned by Viacom International, founded in 1977 as Pinwheel Over the years YTV used a number of different on-air logos, featuring the same arrangement of white letters on various bizarre and imaginative creatures. The logo used on production credits - and thus presumably the "official" logo - features this arrangement on a red screen on a stylized purple television set. The channel's advertisements often focused on promoting the brand through crude humour, often at the expense of the programs being advertised. As this advertising style permeated the station at all hours of the day, it was heavily criticized, especially by older fans of the channel.

In fall of 2005, a new post 6 p. m. advertising style was developed for older audiences which used a much simpler logo and much sleeker packaging with barely any gross-out tactics. In the spring of 2006, this look was adapted for the entire station.

An interesting tidbit about YTV is that former PJ Aashna's performance of Canada's national anthem still plays on YTV, shortly before 6:00 a. "O Canada" is the National anthem of Canada. The song was originally commissioned by the then Lieutenant Governor of Quebec the Honourable Théodore m. ET.

Programming blocks

Since the station launched, YTV has been well-known for dividing their broadcasts into distinct programming blocks for a variety of reasons. An unnamed programming block which later became "The Treehouse", and "The Afterschool Zone", now known simply as "The Zone", were the first and second blocks established in the station's early years. The Zone is the flagship weekday afternoon programming block on the Canadian television channel YTV. This was done primarily as a tactic to comply with Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) restrictions on advertising in children's programming: popular imported programming would run a few minutes short due to fewer ads being permitted compared to US stations. CRTC may also stand for Cathode Ray Tube Controller. Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ( CRTC, in French Conseil Instead of filling the time with public service announcements or other filler material, the idea of devoting several minutes between programs to interaction between live-action hosts was utilized, and has proven successful to this day.

Other blocks, such as Limbo and Bionix, have been created for the specific purpose of designating programming intended for older or specific audiences. YTV is a Canadian English language Cable television Specialty channel aimed at Youth, available nationwide through cable Bionix is a program block on the Canadian television channel YTV. Without similar advertising restrictions being applied, these blocks are unhosted.

As an early specialty station with a focus on an ambiguously defined area such as youth programming, YTV has incorporated many unique and niche programs into their schedule over the years.

British sitcoms

Due to a general lack of original programming for specialty services in its early years, YTV often filled its schedule with older or more obscure types of acquisitions not normally seen on other services. One of the most well-known additions has been British sitcoms, which were initially used to fill prime time slots, but due to popular demand remained prominently on the station's late night schedule for well over a decade. Highlights included the North American premiere of Red Dwarf as well as a persistent run of the improv series Whose Line is it Anyway?, but because YTV's standards for content had not been firmly established at the time, both series endured excessive censorship.

Although prime time programming slowly became more focused, programs such as Are You Being Served?, Keeping Up Appearances, and Yes Minister found cult audiences in late night time slots, and aired free of time and content edits for years as more focus was placed on younger audiences viewing at earlier hours. Are You Being Served? was a long-running British sitcom broadcast from 1972 to 1985 Keeping Up Appearances is a British sitcom starring Patricia Routledge as eccentric social-climbing snob Hyacinth Bucket. Yes Minister is a multi-award winning satirical British sitcom written by Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn that was first transmitted However, in 2003 when YTV began marketing their late night hours towards older youth viewers, it was finally decided to remove the remaining shows from the schedule, having them return only for occasional Christmas specials. Currently, the only British sitcoms still running are My Family, which continues to air recent episodes, and the animated Canada/UK show Bob and Margaret. My Family is a British sitcom that has aired on BBC One since 2000 Bob and Margaret was a Canadian / UK Animated Television series that was also shown in the United States and all over

Pokémon (abbreviated from in Japan) is an ongoing Japanese animated series which has since been adapted for the North American and European However, in 1999, YTV's confusion in attempting to market Gundam Wing, which had proven to be a monumental hit on weekday afternoons in the United States on Cartoon Network's Toonami block, posed significant problems for the medium's exposure in Canada. Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, known in Japan as, was an anime series in the Mecha genre and is one of the alternate universe Gundam series Toonami (a Portmanteau of the words Cartoon and Tsunami suggesting a "tidal wave" of Animated cartoons is a registered Although audiences were shocked to see the show's follow-up movie, Endless Waltz (which was aired before the actual series) shown completely uncut, YTV's decision to air an edited version of the series at 11:30 p.

While some minor, inconsistent content edits occurred in programs like Gundam SEED as a result of this new focus (although the edits were few and nowhere near as severe as on American channels like Cartoon Network), the block has gradually matured with its content and tone falling more in line with that of Adult Swim. shortened to Gundam SEED, is an Anime television series and a Manga series by Sunrise. Adult Swim, (usually stylized swim with its signature square Brackets, is an adult-oriented Television network sharing channel space with Cartoon However, YTV's decision to air Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex in 2005 met with some controversy due to the show's content and adult nature. Despite airing at midnight, the episode "Jungle Cruise" was skipped due to its gruesome theme and content, bringing more question as to why YTV would licence a show of this nature. While the episode was later reaired uncut in a later timeslot, it remains unclear whether or not YTV will air the series' much more graphic second season. is the second season of the Japanese Anime series Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex, based on Masamune Shirow 's ''Ghost in the Shell''
