You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.195.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 09:46, 11 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''YTV''' is a [[Television in Canada|Canadian]] [[English language]] [[Discretionary service|discretionary]] [[specialty channel]] owned by YTV Canada, Inc., a subsidiary of [[Corus Entertainment]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.crtc.gc.ca/ownership/eng/cht032b.pdf |title=Ownership Chart 32b |access-date=March 28, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121006001743/http://www.crtc.gc.ca/ownership/eng/cht032b.pdf |archive-date=October 6, 2012 |url-status=live ))</ref> The channel and its programming is targeted at children and young teenagers; consisting of both original live-action and animated television series, movies, and third-party shows from various international markets, mainly from U.S.-based kids networks. Its name was originally thought to be an abbreviation for "[[Youth]] Television", though the channel's website has denied this.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.ytv.com/about/ |title=About YTV.com |date=November 10, 2006 |access-date=April 11, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100124031436/http://www.ytv.com/about/|archive-date=January 24, 2010 ))</ref>

The channel was launched on September 1, 1988 by owners [[Rogers Media]] and [[CUC Broadcasting]] upon launch. In 1995, [[Shaw Communications]] acquired CUC's 34% stake and in 1998, it acquired Rogers' remaining interest of the channel, before Shaw's media division was spun off to form Corus Entertainment in 1999.

YTV operates two time shifted feeds, running on both [[Eastern Time Zone|Eastern]] and [[Pacific Time Zone|Pacific]] Time Zone schedules, and is available in over 11.0&nbsp;million households in Canada as of 2013.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.newswire.ca/en/story/1191691/ytv-fast-forwards-to-fall-with-eight-side-splitting-new-series|title=YTV Canada Inc. &#124; YTV Fast Forwards to Fall with Eight Side-Splitting New Series|date=June 27, 2013|website=Newswire.ca|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170907165404/http://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/ytv-fast-forwards-to-fall-with-eight-side-splitting-new-series-512660511.html|archive-date=September 7, 2017|access-date=September 6, 2019))</ref>

==History==
The channel was licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) in 1987 by [[Rogers Cable]] and [[CUC Broadcasting]].<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1987/DB87-903.HTM Decision CRTC 87-903] CRTC December 1, 1987</ref><ref name=RCUC>((Cite web|url=https://broadcasting-history.com/listings_and_histories/specialty/ytv|title=YTV &#124; History of Canadian Broadcasting))</ref>

The channel launched on September 1, 1988, at 7:00&nbsp;p.m., with the first program being a special party celebrating the launch of YTV, hosted by [[John Candy]].<ref>((cite web |title=YTV First Night (launch special, September 1, 1988) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MG90yxn-AU |website=youtube.com |publisher=RW-TV: RetroWinnipeg |access-date=9 January 2022 |ref=37))</ref> At launch, Rogers held 75% of the channel while CUC owned 25%.<ref name=RCUC/>

In 1994, the stakes of YTV's ownership was changed, with CUC now owning 34% and Rogers now owning 66%. However, in 1995, Calgary-based [[Shaw Communications]] acquired CUC's stake of 34% ownership of YTV. Shaw acquired Rogers' remaining share in 1999 to take full control of it. In 1999, the media assets of Shaw were spun off to form [[Corus Entertainment]].<ref name=RCUC/>

Two Corus specialty channel applications for YTV extensions, YTV POW!, an internationally sourced kids' action, adventure and superhero genre, and YTV OneWorld, targeting children from age 9 to 17 with travel, humour, games, and [[Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics|STEM]] were approved on September 18, 2008.<ref name=hcb>((Cite news|url =http://www.broadcasting-history.ca/index3.html?url=http%3A//www.broadcasting-history.ca/station_groups/Radio_Television_Station_Groups-Corus_Entertainment_Inc.html|title =Radio/Television Station Group History: Corus Entertainment Inc. |last = Staff|work = The History of Canadian Broadcasting|access-date = September 30, 2015))</ref> The YTV Oneworld license was used to launch [[Nickelodeon (Canadian TV channel)|Nickelodeon Canada]].<ref name="Nickelodeon Canada set to launch">[http://www.mediaincanada.com/articles/mic/20090929/nickelodeoncanada.html Nickelodeon Canada set to launch]; Media in Canada; September 29, 2009</ref>

===Branding history===
Initially, YTV utilized computer-generated graphics in their network IDs, which were normally set against different sky backgrounds that changed depending on the time of day. The channel also started using various slogans ("The Spirit of Youth", "Young as You Are!", "The Youth Channel" and "Canada's Youth Channel") to promote and reflect their youth demographic at the time.

[[File:YTV 1994 logo.webp|thumb|150px|left|Former logo for the channel, used from 1994 to 2000. Although this logo was discontinued in 2000, it would still be used as the channel’s “de facto” logo until 2007.]]
Over the years, the channel continued to revise their branding and promotional material. In 1993, a number of different on-air logos were taken effect, which features the logo's text placed atop of random objects. One logo variant used on production credits (and presumably the "official" logo) features an arrangement of the logo's text placed on a red screen of a stylized purple television set. In December 1994, the YTV text was changed, arranged the same way as before, though with an altered design of the TV background and logotype.

[[File:YTV “Keep It Weird” Creatures (2000-2006).jpg|thumb|145px|right|One of the many creature logos used from 2000 to 2007. The YTV text would be slightly modified in September 2003, with five newer additions of the creatures.]]
In the fall of 1998, YTV started to use a Nickelodeon-style "gross-out" factor in its branding and adopted a new slogan, "Keep It Weird". The logo was changed again in September 2000 with the TV background dropped and the YTV text modified. The channel continued utilizing various on-air logos featuring the same arrangement of the logo's text, this time on various bizarre and imaginative creatures. Many of the channel’s [[Promo (media)|promos]] from this period often focused on promoting the brand through crude humour, often at the expense of the programs being advertised. As this advertising style permeated the station at all hours of the day, it was heavily criticized, especially by older fans of the station. 

As a response, a new post-6:00&nbsp;p.m. advertising style was developed for older audiences, which used a much simpler logo (similar to the current logo used today) and sleeker packaging with reduced "gross-out" tactics. Introduced on September 5, 2005, the simple logo (designed by Troika Design Group) first appeared on YTV's promos and even appeared on credits of newer original programming before being later adopted for the entire channel in 2007, replacing the creatures that had been used in rotation during the channel’s daytime hours.

On August 31, 2009, the logo was changed slightly to have featured new colours, and the background was simplified. The [[Bumper (broadcasting)|bumpers]] were reduced and were later replaced by opaque [[digital on-screen graphic]]s telling viewers which programs are coming next, and promotions of the programs. As part of slightly updated look in September 2012, the colour variants were dropped, leaving only the blue variation.

On October 6, 2014, the channel underwent a brand refresh, with new graphics and bumps created by the Toronto-based Eloisa Iturbe Studio. In addition, the channel updated its logo by having it face upwards to the left instead of directly to the audience.<ref>((cite web |first=Justin W. |last=Sanders |url=http://brief.promaxbda.org/content/brand-rebrand-ytv/ |title=Daily Brief: Brand/Rebrand: YTV |publisher=PromaxBDA |date=February 24, 2015 ))</ref>

===Program jockeys===
((Unreferenced section|date=June 2021))
Beginning in September 1990, YTV called their program jockeys as "PJs" in the same vein as [[disc jockey]] (DJ) or [[VJ (media personality)|video jockey]] (VJ).<ref>((cite news |last1=Kennedy |first1=Janice |title=More Kids On The Block |url=https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/474125473/ |access-date=18 November 2022 |work=Newspapers.com |publisher=Edmonton Journal |date=February 22, 1991 |location=Edmonton, Alberta, Canada |page=51 |language=en |quote=In September, the cable network introduced the program jockeys to young YTV viewers.))</ref> Current hosts of these segments have since dropped the moniker as of the mid-1990s. On April 29, 2023, Corus & YTV fired and dropped all program jockeys due to cuts from Corus CEO Doug Murphy. However, all final 3 hosts (Spencer, Kelsey, & Melony) still make appearances on social media.
