Joytv is a privately-held Canadian television system owned by S-VOX. Joytv airs a mix of multi-faith and family-oriented programming in the form of dramas, comedies, news magazines, talk shows and more.

History

The Joytv system launched on September 1, 2008 consisting of two existing television stations, CHNU-TV and CIIT-TV, located in Vancouver, British Columbia and Winnipeg, Manitoba respectively. Both stations were acquired by S-VOX from Rogers Media in April 2008.

The stations had previously been branded as part of Rogers' Omni Television system prior to their purchase by S-VOX. Rogers rebranded CHNU as CHNU 10 in the fall of 2007, because the company's contemporaneous purchase of the multilingual station CHNM-TV meant that the Omni brand would eventually be moved to that station, but retained the Omni brand on CIIT. After the S-VOX purchase was finalized in the summer of 2008, CIIT was briefly rebranded as CIIT 11 until the Joytv launch.
