History [edit]
In October 2005, Teletoon Canada Inc. was granted approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch TELETOON Rétro, described at the time as "a national, French-language Category 2 specialty programming undertaking devoted to classic animation and classic animation-related programs from Canada and around the world, including animated movies, specials, series and shorts, all of which commenced production at least ten years prior to their exhibition."[1]
The channel was launched on September 4, 2008[2] as "Télétoon Rétro". An English language counterpart, Teletoon Retro has been on the air since October 1, 2007.
On March 4, 2013, Corus Entertainment announced that it would acquire Astral Media's 50% ownership interest in Teletoon, Télétoon, Teletoon Retro (English and French) and Cartoon Network, the purchase is in relation to Bell Media's pending takeover of Astral (which had earlier been rejected by the CRTC in October 2012, but was restructured to allow the sale of certain Astral Media properties in order to allow the purchase to clear regulatory hurdles).[3]
