}}Teletoon Retro was a Canadian English language Category B specialty television channel owned by Corus Entertainment. The channel was based on the former Teletoon programming block Teletoon Retro and was dedicated to primarily broadcasting animated series that had premiered on television at least 10 years prior to their airing on Teletoon Retro, however, its CRTC licence allowed as much as 10% of its programming to be live action;[1] as such, it also aired several live-action series, such as Batman, Fraggle Rock, and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers[1]

Along with its French language sister station, Télétoon Rétro, combined, both were available in over 9 million Canadian households as of 2013, having the most subscribers among the digital Canadian specialty channels.[2]

History

Teletoon Retro initially started as a programming block on Teletoon. On November 24, 2000, Teletoon Canada (at the time, an equal joint venture between Corus Entertainment and Astral Media) was granted approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch Teletoon Retro, a category 2 digital specialty channel that would "present classic cartoons from Canada and around the world, including animated movies, specials, series and shorts which commenced production at least ten (10) years prior to their exhibition by the licensee."[3] The channel did not commence operation and the licence expired.

Plans to launch the channel arose again in 2005, when on October 25, Teletoon Canada was given approval again to launch Teletoon Retro, this time as a singular English channel with no French language feed.[4] The channel was launched at 6:00 PM EST on October 1, 2007 with its first program being The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show. To coincide with the channel's launch, Teletoon briefly relaunched the Retro programming block.[5] A French language counterpart, titled Télétoon Rétro, which had been given approval to be launched at the same time as Teletoon Retro, was launched on September 4, 2008.[6]

On March 4, 2013, Corus Entertainment announced that it would acquire Astral Media's 50% ownership interest in Teletoon. The purchase was in relation to Bell Media's pending takeover of Astral, which had earlier been rejected by the CRTC in October 2012, but was restructured to allow the sale of certain Astral Media properties in order to allow the purchase to clear regulatory hurdles.[7] Corus' purchase was cleared by the Competition Bureau two weeks later on March 18.[8] On December 20, 2013, the CRTC approved Corus' full ownership of Teletoon Canada.[9][10] and it was purchased by Corus on January 1, 2014.[11]

On March 1, 2014, a high definition simulcast of Teletoon Retro was launched. It was only available on Cogeco and Bell Fibe TV.{{citation needed|date=August 2015}}

In August 2015, Teletoon Retro's website announced that the channel would be shut down effective September 1, 2015; to coincide with the launch of the Canadian version of Disney Channel, the French Télétoon Rétro rebranded as a French version of Disney Channel the same day. Teletoon Retro's CRTC licence was retained by Corus; effective the same day, the intellectual property and programming of Cartoon Network was transferred to Teletoon Retro's licence in order to give it wider distribution, particularly on Rogers Cable and Shaw Direct.[12][13][14][15][16]
