Canadian Learning Television (CLT) is a Canadian English language cable television specialty channel. It is currently the only national educational television channel. CLT is owned by Corus Entertainment.
History
CLT was licensed by the CRTC in 1996 and was launched on September 7, 1999 under the ownership of CHUM Limited. On June 22, 2007, CTVglobemedia gained control of CLT as a result of a buyout of CHUM Limited.
It was announced on March 7, 2008, that CTVglobemedia will be selling CLT to Corus Entertainment for approximately $73 million. The deal was approved by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) on August 22, 2008. [http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/2008/db2008-206.htm] The transaction was finalized on September 1, 2008.
Programming
CLT offers educational and informative programs along with a mix of television dramas, documentaries, feature films and specials. Also through a partnership with various post-secondary institutions, CLT broadcasts programs that support accredited courses of study across Canada.
Programming on CLT is built around various 'theme nights', such as: “History Mondays”, “Crime Tuesdays”, “Book Wednesdays”, “Canadian Thursdays”, “Justice Fridays”, “Movie Saturdays” and “Nature & Science Sundays”.
