Argent (TV channel)

Argent (Money) was a Canadian French language Category A specialty channel.

The channel was owned and operated by Groupe TVA, a division of Quebecor Media.

On November 24, 2000, a consortium of companies including Groupe TVA (50.1%), Publications Transcontinental Inc. (30%) and BCE Media Inc. (19.9%) was granted a broadcasting licence by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) for a television channel called LCN Affaires, described as "a national French-language Category 1 specialty television service devoted to business and personal finance.

"[1] Before the channel was launched, Groupe TVA bought the remaining shares from the other partners, bringing its ownership to 100%.

The company cited the channel's poor profitability as justification for the decision.
