History

Original logo used from launch until May 1, 2011

In November 24, 2000, a consortium consisting of Vision TV Digital (parent company, S-VOX), Radio Nord Communications, and Wisdom Media Group, were granted approval for One by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). The channel was tentatively known as Wisdom: Canada's Body, Mind & Spirit Channel.[1] Prior to the channel's launch, ownership was restructured giving Alliance Atlantis and Renewal Partners Company a minority stake in the channel, while Wisdom Media Group's stake was sold. The channel launched on September 7, 2001 under the name One: the Body, Mind & Spirit channel.

On January 18, 2008, a joint venture between Canwest and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, known as CW Media, bought Alliance Atlantis and gained its minority interest in One.

In June 2009, S-VOX announced it would sell its broadcasting assets, including One, to ZoomerMedia, a company controlled by Moses Znaimer.[2] The sale was approved by the CRTC On March 30, 2010.[3] ZoomerMedia assumed control of S-VOX's broadcasting assets on June 30, 2010.[4]

On October 27, 2010, Shaw Communications completed its acquisition of Canwest and Goldman Sachs' interest in CW Media, giving it control of CW Media's 37.77% interest in One.[5][6] However, in March 2011, Shaw and the other minority stake holders sold their shares in the channel to ZoomerMedia, giving it 100% ownership.[7]

On April 26, 2011 ZoomerMedia announced the rebranding of the channel on May 1, 2011 by introducing a new name, logo, on-air presentation, and programming which it has acquired from the U.S.-based Veria TV.[8][9] The channel focuses largely on the same genre of programming as it previously did.
