YTV Toon

YTV Toon, simply known as Toon, was a Canadian English language specialty channel owned by Corus Entertainment based on its sister channel, YTV. YTV Toon only aired animated programming, mostly from YTV and Teletoon. YTV Toon operated two time-shifted feeds, running on both Eastern and Pacific Time Zone schedules. It was available in over 6 million Canadian households as of June 13, 2012.

History
YTV Toon was put into development on August 9, 2002, but never made it to television because of YTV's animation success.

Although YTV was still successful, the plans rose again in 2004, when YTV was given permission to launch the new channel. Thusly, in October, YTV Toon was launched, dedicated to animated programs only.

On October 26, 2011, a report showed that the channel was suffering from a serious viewership decline. While there were millions of households where YTV Toon was available, people were ignoring the channel as a whole due to YTV. Thusly, YTV Toon began to air acquired programs from both the American and Canadian Nickelodeon and the American Cartoon Network, which did not have much effect.

On May 6, 2014, Corus announced that "the doors were closed" on YTV, and the channel was going to be replaced with a Canadian version of Game Channel, following a deal with Trinome Media.
