[4] On January 18, 2008,[5] a joint venture between Canwest and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners known as CW Media[6] acquired control of HGTV through its purchase of Alliance Atlantis' broadcasting assets, which were placed in a trust in August 2007.

[7] On October 27, 2010, the channel's ownership changed again as Shaw Communications gained control of HGTV as a result of its acquisition of Canwest and Goldman Sachs' interest in CW Media.

[10] On April 1, 2016, Shaw Media was sold to Corus Entertainment, making HGTV Canada a sibling to additional channels such as W Network.

[11] Three days later, Rogers Sports & Media announced it had reached an agreement with WBD for the Canadian rights to its lifestyle brands including HGTV beginning in January 2025.

[13] Corus said in its June announcement that it intended to continue operating many of the affected channels under new brands with their existing Canadian programming along with "alternate foreign content supply".
