YTV, also known unofficially as "Youth Television", is a Canadian cable television network. The service is owned by a company called Corus Entertainment, which was spun off from cable provider Shaw Communications in late 1999. YTV's schedule is primarily children's programming, including shows for pre-schoolers, but the channel also airs British sitcoms in late night. YTV divides its schedule into named blocks, such as The Zone, with Carlos and Sugar on weekday afternoons. Between programs, there are usually short segments of children's content. YTV has been on the air since September 1, 1988. It has been known as the counterpart of the American channel Nickelodeon, because it shares several series, and has a similar theme to Nickelodeon, such as being a kids network plus it's "icky-like" theme (i.e Slime, Creepy Creatures, etc.).

Other programs of note

YTV was the first North American broadcaster to air the British science fiction comedy series, Red Dwarf, although the episodes were heavily edited for language and content and at least one episode was banned entirely. YTV was also one of the first North American broadcasters to air the improv series Whose Line is it Anyway?, which again had to be edited. The Australian-American series Farscape received its Canadian debut on YTV.
