Type Subsidiary of Cogeco Cable Industry Media Founded Varies Headquarters Burlington, Ontario;
Trois-Rivières, QuebecTVCogeco is the brand of community channels owned by Cogeco Cable, many of which share common programs. TVCogeco broadcasts into the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Some channels broadcast in both the English and French languages, often on separate channels.
Programming on the channels are produced with the assistance of volunteers. This programming was created in response to CRTC regulations which previously required that cable companies produce local content (this is no longer required but strongly encouraged).[1] This requirement does not apply to satellite providers and is the main reason that cable providers can claim to have more local coverage.

(Although Cogeco provides cable service in parts of the Hamilton market, regional monopolies in the region are also held by Shaw Communications and Source Cable. The 3 companies jointly operate a single community channel for Hamilton known as Cable 14, so there is no TVCogeco channel proper in the region.)
