Elle Fictions

Elle Fictions (stylized ELLE Fictions) is a Canadian French language specialty channel owned by Remstar Media Group. The channel broadcasts general entertainment programming targeting young adult women.

It was founded in 1986 as MusiquePlus, a joint venture between CHUM Limited—owner of the English-language music television channel MuchMusic—and Montreal-based radio broadcaster Radiomutuel; the channel initially operated as a block timesharing with TVJQ, but received licensing as a standalone channel in 1988. Following the acquisition of CHUM by CTVglobemedia in 2007, Radiomutuel's successor Astral Media acquired CHUM's stake in MusiquePlus, separating it from common ownership with its English counterpart. After the 2013 acquisition of Astral by CTVglobemedia's successor Bell Media, MusiquePlus was sold to V Media Group, parent company of Quebec's V network. In February 2019, V Media Group announced that it planned to discontinue MusiquePlus entirely, and replace the channel with an entertainment format targeting women. The channel officially launched, licensed from the French women's magazine Elle, on August 26, 2019.

Due to shrinking interest in music television because of the growth of online platforms, MusiquePlus increasingly focused on non-music programming targeting a young adult audience, such as comedy, films, and reality shows. After the CRTC abolished genre protection rules in 2015, V Media Group announced in February 2019 that it planned to relaunch MusiquePlus as a general entertainment channel targeting women. This channel was officially relaunched as Elle Fictions—licensed from the French women's magazine Elle—on August 26, 2019.

As a former Category A service, Elle Fictions was required to be carried on the basic service of all digital television providers serving the province of Quebec. The channel is typically offered optionally at the discretion of providers outside of the province.
