The channel is devoted to talk, lifestyle and documentary programming, and also airs some scripted programming. The channel launched as Talktv in 2000, but was not as widely available prior to its relaunch in March 2006.

As a former Category A service, MTV was required to be carried on the basic service of all digital cable providers across Canada. The chann ...
