IDNR-TV

IDNR-TV (an abbreviation for In Depth Natural Resources Television),[1] sometimes referred to as Natural Resources Television, was a Canadian Category B specialty channel owned by IDNR-TV Inc. IDNR-TV's programming was devoted to the coverage of natural resources including industry related and social issues programming.

Launched in 2006, the channel ceased broadcasting in 2020, however, the company continues to operate as a producer of documentary films.

In October 2004, IDNR-TV was granted approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch a channel called The Natural Resources Television Channel, described as "an English-and French-language Category 2 specialty programming undertaking that will offer programming focusing on the field of natural resources.

"[2] The channel was launched on October 2, 2006 as IDNR-TV on selected Persona digital cable systems[3] (now called EastLink), and in early 2007, the channel was launched on Cablevision du Nord.
