History

Originating as an Internet-based video service in September 2013,[1] shortly after its launch, the company began talks with television service providers to launch the service as a television channel. On August 28, 2014, the service officially launched in Canada as a television channel.[2]

Since its launch within Canada, the service began expansion globally through distribution agreements with Flow, which saw the channel launch in the summer of 2015 in Flow's markets in the Caribbean including Antigua, Barbados, Curaçao, Grenada, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent & the Grenadines.[3] In addition, in September 2016, the channel entered the United States when it launched as a digital sub-channel of WDFL-LD channel 18, a low-powered television station in Miami, Florida.[4]
