[edit] History

On November 24, 2000 the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) granted a licence to Groupe TVA (50.1%), Publications Transcontinental Inc (30%) and BCE Media Inc (19.9%) for a service called LCN Affaires. Before the channel's launch, Groupe TVA bought the remaining shares from the other partners bringing its ownership to 100%. Shortly thereafter, the channel was launched on February 21, 2005 under its current name.
