Univision Canada is a Canadian Spanish language specialty channel owned by TLN Media Group, in partnership with TelevisaUnivision, the leading Spanish-language media company in the United States.
Univision Canada broadcasts a variety of programming, including news, dramas, talk shows, sports, and more.
In September 2006, Telelatino Network was granted approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch a television channel called Spanish Entertainment TV 1, described as "a national, ethnic Category 2 specialty programming service devoted to the Spanish-speaking community with a particular emphasis on programming of interest to female and youth audiences.
[2] On January 28, 2014, Corus announced that they would rebrand the network Univision Canada after reaching a brand licensing agreement with their long-term partner, Univision Communications, which had no presence of their main American network in Canada aside from fringe receptions of then-Seattle Univision affiliate KUNS-TV into the Vancouver market and Cleveland, Ohio owned-and-operated station WQHS-DT into parts of the London, Ontario market (Seattle is now served by Bellingham-licensed KVOS-TV).
Unlike Univision in the United States, Univision Canada does not air programming from TelevisaUnivision's Mexican network, Las Estrellas, as that network is available on selected cable systems in Canada.
