Key Information
History
[edit]
The channel originally launched in 1985 as Radio de la Magnétothèque (more commonly referred to as La Magnétothèque, the name of its parent company). The channel was originally operating without a Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) granted broadcast licence. However, in October 1990, the CRTC officially approved the licence for the service.[1]
Later, in August 2009, the CRTC approved another application by La Magnétothèque that would grant the service mandatory carriage on the basic package of television service providers' systems in Quebec.[2]
In March 2011, Radio de la Magnétothèque was renamed Canal M to coincide with the rebranding of its parent company, from La Magnétothèque to Vues & Voix.[3]
