Vrak (stylized as VRΔK) was a Canadian French language specialty channel owned by BCE Inc. subsidiary Bell Media.

As with the English counterpart, Vrak.TV's programming heavily mirrored that of the American cable network Disney Channel, with which Family held a licensing agreement.

After being removed from Vidéotron, the channel ceased operations on October 1, 2023, due to declining viewership and having been deemed "outdated" by Bell Media.

A few months later, the Cablevision Nationale network was upgraded to allow the distribution of thirty channels, while the Inter-vision consortium made up of different cable distributors from the south of the province, set up at the corner of Pie-IX boulevards.

and Rosemont in Montreal under the name Cablespec, takes care of the production and broadcasting of eight specialized channels under the responsibility of Jacques Lasnier.

[5] The channel, initially called Enfants et Jeunesse before adopting TVJQ [fr] ("Télévision des Jeunes du Québec") in May 1982, presented children's programs produced in Quebec for the most part as well as European, American and Japanese animation series, as much as possible without violence, seeking to eliminate gender discrimination.

Meanwhile, in October 1984, another block of music videos produced by MuchMusic was broadcast, a month after the channel's launch in Toronto.

In March 1986, Videotron obtained a “broadcasting license for the operation, on an experimental basis and for a temporary period, of a cable television network in order to distribute by satellite to affiliated cable television companies in the province of Quebec the service of special French-language programming “Télé des Jeunes”.

[22][21] At launch, the channel carried a few original shows from Quebec including La Garderie des amis, Hibou Chou Genou, Labo Labo, as well as Bibi et Geneviève when the chain closed at 7:00 p.m. (8:00 p.m Fridays and week-ends) and opened at 7 a.m. Another original program, Mémoire Vive, joined the lineup in December 1988.

[24] During the 1995-1996 season, Canal Famille changed its logo, attracted more young people on the air and suddenly targeted teenagers aged 12 to 17.

[25] The channel aired Radio Enfer, the first Québecois sitcom for young people, and Le Studio, a comedy sketch series directed by Bruno Blanchet.

This momentum continued the following year with the addition of Goosebumps and Generation W.[23] Shortly after the launch of Canal D (also owned by Premier Choix) in 1995, which offered some classic television series, Canal Famille similarly saw the addition of series to its programming such as Bewitched in the fall of 1995, Gilligan's Island in 1996, The Flying Nun in 1997 and Family Affair in 1998.

In September 1997, the Télétoon channel (of which Premier Choix is 50% owner) was launched, offering 24-hour programming focused on cartoons for several age groups.

Canal Famille lost around half of its market share, reduced its number of original productions and filled its programming with series produced by Nickelodeon.

It now offered more audatious concepts like Turbulence Zone or Dans une galaxie près de chez vous.

[30] The channel switched to an ad-supported format in 2006 to coincide with the renewal of license the launch of its high definition feed on October 30, 2006.

Other series that the channel popularized were Dans une galaxie près de chez vous and Radio Enfer.
