Leonardo World was a Canadian category 2 Italian language[citation needed] digital cable television channel wholly owned by Telelatino Network Inc.
The channel broadcast programming related to Italian arts and culture including cuisine, fashion, travel, and more.
In December 2000, Telelatino Network was granted approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch Sitcom Canada, described as "a national ethnic Category 2 specialty television service directed to Italians/Italian-speaking audiences.
In Telelatino's message posted on its website, they noted that they were "disappointed" with the decisions of the distributors to drop the channel, along with some of the others in the Super Trio Italiano package, suggesting it was not Telelatino's decision to discontinue the service, rather it was a lack of interest from distributors.
[5] The unease of the providers would prove correct, as the domestic Italian version of the channel ended a year later.
