Launched on September 1, 1988 (sharing with [[Family Channel Originals|Family]], VisionTV, and The Weather Network), YTV was the successor to two prior special programming services operated by various Ontario cable companies beginning in the late 1970s. They did not use a logo until ''Deke Wilson's Mini-Mysteries'' premiered in 1989. The two largest shareholders in YTV were two cable companies: Rogers Cable and a company known as CUC Broadcasting, which would later be acquired by [[Shaw Media|Shaw Communications]]. | Launched on September 1, 1988 (sharing with [[Family Channel Originals|Family Channel]], VisionTV, and The Weather Network), YTV was the successor to two prior special programming services operated by various Ontario cable companies beginning in the late 1970s.

By 1995, through various acquisitions and trades, Shaw had secured full control of YTV; it was spun off as part of [[Corus Entertainment]] in 1999. YTV has become a sister channel to [[Treehouse Originals|Treehouse TV]], the youngest of the Corus Kids subdivisions, along with [[Teletoon Originals|Teletoon]] being in the middle, until the launches of Canadian versions of Disney Channel, Disney Junior, and Disney XD in 2015, as the new youngest ones. The network is primarily aimed at preadolescents and young adolescents aged 8-15. | By 1995, through various acquisitions and trades, Shaw had secured full control of YTV; it was spun off as part of [[Corus Entertainment]] in 1999.
