History
On November 30, 2004, Corus Entertainment was granted approval from the CRTC to launch Chinese News Television, described as "a national Category 2 specialty television service with English, French and Chinese-language feeds. The service shall present 24 hour live news coverage from China and other countries".

Before the channel had launched, Corus reached a deal with China Central Television, to launch Chinese News Television as a Canadian version of CCTV.

The channel was launched on June 1, 2007 at 9:00 am EST. The channel signed on with an introductory promo for the channel.

On the morning of February 16, 2012, the channel was rebranded as CGTN Canada.

In August of 2015, Corus announced that it would shut down the channel effective September 1, 2015, along with Teletoon Retro, citing a lack of viewership.

The channel ceased operations at 9:00 am EST on September 1, 2015, being replaced by a Canadian version of Boomerang. The channel signed off after airing a montage of the channel's various well-known events.
