| 6 | [[https://www.ytv.com YTV]] is a Canadian channel launched in 1988 as one of the first youth-oriented [[MediaNotes/CanadianMultichannelNetworks specialty networks]] to launch in the country. Despite this, and what its name suggests, YTV's initials do not stand for "'''Y'''outh '''T'''ele'''v'''ision". YTV was originally owned between Rogers Cable and CUC Broadcasting, with the former having the majority share. In the late 90s however, Shaw Communications acquired both companies' shares in the network, and in 1999, they spun off their media assets to establish Creator/CorusEntertainment, which has remained the parent company of YTV ever since (and would later acquire Creator/{{Nelvana}} in 2000 and Creator/{{Teletoon}} in 2013). The network serves as the flagship brand for the Corus' Kids division. |

| 8 | A staple of any TV-watching Canadian kid in TheNineties, YTV is known for its programming blocks hosted by [=PJs=], or '''P'''rogram '''J'''ockeys, who would come in [[CreditsPushback during the credits]] and do various things such as answering e-mails while introducing the next show. Their flagship block is ''The Zone'', originally shown during the after-school hours before eventually taking-over Saturday mornings as well. Notable on-air personalities throughout the years have included Phil Guerrero, who was known on-air as "PJ Phresh Phill"; Creator/StephanieBeard, who was known on-air as "Sugar"; and Carlos Bustamante, who is the longest-running host at ''16 years''. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | The mornings featured an array of programming for younger viewers with tons of interaction from the [=PJs=] and many puppet characters who visited or lived in their lavish, treehouse-themed sets. YTV later split off another channel to cater to toddlers and preschoolers: Creator/TreehouseTV. Come afternoon, YTV was the go-to source for everything from ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' and ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' ([[MarketBasedTitle known on the channel as]] ''Beasties'') to ''Anime/SailorMoon'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'', ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984'', ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'', ''Series/TheSecretWorldOfAlexMack'' and ''[[Series/TheAddamsFamily The New Addams Family]]''--all of which was hosted by a duo of wiseass male [=PJs=] and their gum-covered alien television creature Snit, whose screen was a giant mouth. Evenings shifted to a darker note with programming such as ''Series/{{Animorphs}}'', ''Series/AreYouAfraidOfTheDark'', ''Series/{{Goosebumps|1995}}'', ''Series/DoctorWho''[='=]s classic 1963-1989 run[[note]]Notably, YTV was the first Canadian channel to air the racially controversial story "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E6TheTalonsOfWengChiang The Talons of Weng-Chiang]]" in 1990, after [=TVOntario=] [[BannedEpisode skipped over it]] in 1980's syndication due to pressure from the country's Chinese Canadians.[[/note]], and {{BritCom}}s such as ''Series/YesMinister'' and ''Series/AreYouBeingServed''. The early years also included reruns of Canadian and American oldies such as ''Series/TheLittlestHobo'', ''Series/{{Bonanza}}'' and ''Series/TheMuppetShow'', as well as the controversial cult classic ''Series/YouCantDoThatOnTelevision'', resulting in the latter becoming VindicatedByCable after a spotty decade-long broadcast history in its home country. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Between shows throughout the day, animated shorts dubbed "Short Circuitz" would air, ranging from funny and lighthearted ones earlier in the day to darker and surprisingly wistful ones at night ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbhGmzvkp70 "Windows,"]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheMindsEye'' series for example). YTV was also responsible for original and often low-budget shows as well, such as ''Series/PJKatiesFarm'' and ''Series/RadioActive'', and the long-running game shows ''Series/VideoAndArcadeTop10'' & ''Series/UhOh''. These days, most of this material is famed for its massive nostalgia factor among natives of the 1990s and late 1980s. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | If YTV had to be compared to an American equivalent, it would be Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, from which the station has imported a large amount of programming. A Canadian version, which primarily serves as a vault channel for Nickelodeon's programming, was eventually launched in 2009. YTV also served as the early inspiration for [[Creator/{{Freeform}} what was then known as Fox Family]], after its purchase by Creator/{{Fox}}. Fox Family even had their own equivalent to ''The Zone'' known as ''The Basement'' but, in a sense of {{irony}}, much of the channel's early programming was imported from YTV's then-rival Creator/{{Teletoon}}. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Another notable aspect of YTV was that they were the primary source of {{anime}} for Canadians, in addition to the previously mentioned ''Sailor Moon'' (for which Stephanie Beard provided the voice of Rini (Chibi-Usa) in later seasons) and ''Pokemon''. Like Nickelodeon, anime for younger children like ''Anime/{{Mapletown}}'', ''Anime/MayaTheBee'' and ''Anime/TheLittlBits'' were a staple of the network in the days before most viewers knew what anime was. [[note]]While YTV tended to stick to fare aimed at kids, rival Teletoon aired movies and [[OriginalVideoAnimation OVAs]], and there were other cable outlets airing more mature, adult anime fare. Previously, anime had been available in spurts on English-language broadcast TV, particularly with shows such as ''Anime/BelleAndSebastian'' or ''Anime/AliceInWonderlandJP'' on non-commercial public broadcasters such as [=TVOntario=] or British Columbia's Knowledge Network. Francophones had more to choose from, with networks like [[Creator/{{CBC}} Radio-Canada]], Creator/{{TVA}}, Ontario's La Chaine Francaise/TFO and Quebec's Radio-Quebec/Tele-Quebec featuring a steady diet of French-dubbed anime from the '70s through the early '90s.[[/note]] In fact, ''VideoGame/{{Medabots}}'', ''Anime/BakutenShootBeyblade'', and ''Anime/BeybladeMetalFusion''[='=]s English versions were all produced in association with sibling studio Creator/{{Nelvana}}. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | YTV's anime programming would reach its peak with ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'' and the ''Bionix'' block. ''Bionix'' brought several other new anime series to viewers, most of which were dubbed by Creator/TheOceanGroup for [=CanCon=] (Canadian content) reasons, hitting two birds with one stone for both the meeting obligations and satisfying anime fans. Similarly, shows like ''Sailor Moon'' and ''Maya the Bee'' had had their English versions produced in Toronto or Montreal. They also threw in Canadian-produced CGI favorites by Creator/MainframeEntertainment (''[[WesternAnimation/BeastWars Beasties]]'', ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' and ''WesternAnimation/ShadowRaiders'') and even WesternAnimation fare (''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited'', ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' and ''{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}''). |
| 19 | |
| 20 | Come the new millennium, YTV gradually shifted its programming. Instead of aiming for older teens later at night, they would maximize the number of viewers by airing shows that would attract a "whole family" audience in the evening. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | As a result, ''Bionix'' [[ScrewedByTheNetwork was moved to late Saturday nights]] and later shortened to just an hour of reruns before it was ultimately axed in 2010. YTV did acquired approval from the CRTC [[WhatCouldHaveBeen to launch an anime-focused channel,]] [[ShootTheShaggyDog but the license ultimately expired in January of 2010.]] By 2014, YTV would let go of the few anime titles it did have, with the likes of ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' and ''[[Anime/{{YuGiOh}} Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' being [[ChannelHop shuffled over]] to Teletoon--which Corus obtained full ownership of the previous year. At one point, it seemed as if YTV was losing interest in animation as a whole; even new original shows made for the channel would somehow end up on Teletoon. For a period, the most animation you would see would be Franchise/{{Nicktoons}}, or reruns of YTV and Teletoon's earlier cartoons on weekdays; unless it was a movie, a new show, or ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', you wouldn't see anything of the sort after 6 PM EST. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Like Nickelodeon, YTV still attracts a PeripheryDemographic that remembers the channel fondly for [[NostalgiaFilter its image and output from the 1990s to early 2000s]]. Playing lipservice to this particular audience, Creator/{{Nelvana}} launched [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChUxVeU8kKEjmXOJZJGZE4g YTV Direct]] in 2015, a Website/{{YouTube}} channel hosting both retro and contemporary content from YTV and Teletoon. YTV and Nelvana have also uploaded episodes of [=Nicktoons=] such as ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', as Nelvana owns the international rights to early seasons. At one point, there was also a "retro" section on YTV's website, featuring full episodes, as well as blogs and quizzes based on older YTV programming. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | For its 30th anniversary in 2018, YTV Direct was relaunched as "Keep It Weird", focusing on "weird", contemporary shows. The rest of its content was split between two new channels: [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTJVG4j7embib_4K4vm-iIw Retro Rerun]], which focuses on older programming and even held a ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'' reunion special, and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXLHvcP0L5WhOjEez45kTFg Cartoon Power Up]], featuring action cartoons and Nelvana-produced anime dubs. |

| 31 | Not to be confused with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yomiuri_Telecasting_Corporation Yomiuri TV,]] a Creator/NipponTelevision-affiliated Japanese TV station in Osaka sharing the same initials (albeit in lowercase). Incidentally, Yomiuri was the original broadcaster for ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}''. Also not to be confused with Yorkshire Television, an Creator/{{ITV}} franchise once commonly referred to as YTV. |

| 236 | !!Tropes associated with the network include: |
| 237 | * CoveredInGunge: ''Series/YouCantDoThatOnTelevision'', made in Ottawa but primarily popular in the United States on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, was an integral part of YTV's lineup at its launch in 1988, being not only a groundbreaking show but Canadian Content as well. Creator/JohnCandy got green slimed on YTV's premiere broadcast after uttering the show's trigger phrase, "I don't know." YTV also had the Slimelight Sweepstakes, its own version of Nickelodeon's "Slime-In" contests which flew winners to the CJOH-TV studios, where the show was made, to get slimed. |
| 238 | * InternationalCoproduction: |
| 239 | ** The English dubs of the ''Franchise/{{Beyblade}}'' franchise were produced for the channel by Nelvana |
| 240 | ** They were involved in producing the ''VideoGame/VivaPinata'' adaptation with {{Creator/Rare}} in the UK, Canada's Creator/BardelEntertainment, and the American-based Creator/FourKidsEntertainment (who also brought on their own voice actors, thus averting OnlySoManyCanadianActors for the only time in the channel's history). |
| 241 | ** ''WesternAnimation/MartinMystery'', which was produced for the channel by the French Creator/MarathonMedia and animated by Canada's Image Entertainment Corporation. YTV also involved in the production of ''WesternAnimation/TeamGalaxy'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Redakai}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/MonsterBusterClub'', also creations of Creator/MarathonMedia. |
| 242 | ** Creator/StudioBProductions' ''WesternAnimation/KidVsKat'' was co-produced in association with Jetix and Creator/DisneyXD in Europe. |
| 243 | ** ''WesternAnimation/JaneAndTheDragon'' was produced in association with YTV between the Canadian Creator/{{Nelvana}} and New Zealand's Creator/{{Weta}}. |
| 244 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingAdrenaliniBrothers'' was co-produced in association with the UK version of Creator/CartoonNetwork. Another British co-production was ''WesternAnimation/ThreeDelivery'', this time with Creator/AnimationCollective. |
| 245 | ** Australian-Canadian series for the network include ''WesternAnimation/ErkyPerky'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Pearlie}}''. |
| 246 | ** ''WesternAnimation/OlliesPack'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Mysticons}}'' were also co-produced in association with Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}. |
| 247 | ** ''WesternAnimation/AlmostNakedAnimals'' was co-produced in association with Creator/CartoonNetwork. |
| 248 | ** ''WesternAnimation/MonaTheVampire'' was created for the network by the French-based Gaumont Animation (formerly known as Alphanim). |
| 249 | ** ''Series/MaxAndShred'' and ''Series/MakeItPop'', two of the few co-productions the network had with Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}. |
| 250 | * LargeHamAnnouncer: '''Creator/{{Ed|wardGlen}}die.''' '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Glen]].''' The [[Funny/{{YTV}} Funny]] page speaks for itself. |
| 251 | * ProductionPosse: Given that their both owned by Creator/CorusEntertainment, it's little surprise that Creator/{{Nelvana}} cartoons have long been a staple of YTV's original productions. |
| 252 | * ScrewedByTheNetwork: |
| 253 | ** YTV screwed ''Bionix'' so hard, it almost makes what Creator/CartoonNetwork did to Creator/{{Toonami}} look minor in comparison. The block originally ran on Friday nights, airing a mixture of {{Anime}} and WesternAnimation. However, when ''Manga/DeathNote'' and ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny Gundam SEED Destiny]]'' ended, YTV failed to pick up any new shows to replace them with that had been picked up in the States (i.e ''Anime/CodeGeass'' or ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam 00]]''). The block was shortened and moved to Saturday nights, which isolated its viewing audience. After ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' ended, they did pick up ''VideoGame/BlueDragon'', but the run was short, barely lasting 15 or 20 episodes. All they had left at that point was ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', and ''Manga/ZatchBell'', and they cut ''Zatch Bell'' a few months later. With only ''Naruto'' and ''Bleach'' left, they shifted what was left of the block to run from Midnight to 2:00 AM. Not only that, but '''both''' series were in filler hell. Finally, when the filler episodes ran out, they simply went back to reruns. No ''Shippuden'', and no Arrancar. Soon after, the block was scrapped and YTV hasn't aired any mature anime series since. |
| 254 | ** During ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}: Diamond and Pearl'''s run, YTV gave it this treatment. When new episodes were supposed to air, the network would sometimes show ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', or even ''Anime/PrettyCure'' in its' time slot. On Victoria Day 2009, when YTV was supposed to air a marathon of new episodes, a ''[=SpongeBob=]'' marathon aired instead. |
| 255 | *** YTV used to air ''Diamond and Pearl'' on Friday nights, instead of Saturday afternoons. By the time ''Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension'' began airing, the channel was airing new episodes on Friday ''mornings'', at a time when the target audience was going to school. |
| 256 | ** Creator/TheOceanGroup-produced dub of ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'' got a nasty case of this, with episodes only airing on Friday mornings. The thing is, YTV '''commissioned the dub'''. |
| 257 | ** Despite treating previous adaptions well, YTV gave one hell of a welcome back to ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' when the channel aired ''Anime/DigimonFusion''. [[https://imissbionix.wordpress.com/2014/03/17/digimon-fusion-is-airing-on-ytv/ The show appeared out of nowhere in March 2014, on a Friday morning, with ZERO promotion]], and disappeared soon after. This is despite the show targeting the same crowd as ''Anime/BDamanCrossfire'', which also received no promotion but got a lot better treatment. The best bet for Canadian fans to watch the show was through a nearby [[Creator/TheCW CW]] affiliate that carried Creator/{{Vortexx}}, which was already months ahead of YTV's broadcast anyways. |
| 258 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' caught a case of this in Summer 2016. Unlike Nickelodeon, which shuffled reruns over to Creator/{{Nicktoons}}, YTV still aired the show... at 5am in the morning. Which show bumped ''[=OddParents=]'' from its longtime spot on ''The Zone'' and completely took over the weekday block in the process? Why ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', of course! |
| 259 | ** If it's a show aimed at girls, YTV '''will''' screw it over. They mostly do this by only airing the show on Sunday mornings with little-to-no promotion. Nowadays, whenever Corus acquires a show it perceives to be aimed at girls, they simply air on the preschool-oriented Creator/TreehouseTV instead. |
| 260 | *** Perhaps due to it being a Creator/{{Nelvana}}-produced series, ''WesternAnimation/{{Mysticons}}'' was a minor aversion to this trope. Just as Nickelodeon did, Mysticons premiered in a five-day, week-long event, and also airs new episodes on Sundays. ''Unlike'' Nickelodeon, YTV airs reruns on Saturday mornings, as well as weekdays, and the show even had premiere events on Creator/{{Teletoon}}'s English and French channels, with the latter channel also hosting a five-day premiere. |
| 261 | *** On the flip side, ''WesternAnimation/RegalAcademy'' plays it straight, with new episodes being aired on ''weekends at 6am''. |
| 262 | ** Despite all of the other Nicktoons that aired on YTV being treated well and given good promotion, WesternAnimation/KaBlam was treated HORRIBLY by YTV. It was only aired in graveyard timeslots and as such was extremely short lived on the channel. |
