ATN Gujarati is a Canadian exempt Category B Gujarati language specialty channel owned by Asian Television Network (ATN). ATN Gujarati broadcasts programming focused on family entertainment and culture. Programming includes talk shows, current affairs, news, films, and festival-based programs. Programming is primarily sourced from TV9, an Indian-based television channel, as well as Canadian content. ==History== In November 2000, ATN was granted approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch a television channel called ''Gujarati Channel'', described as ''"a national ethnic Category 2 specialty television service targeting the Gujarati-speaking community."''〔(Decision CRTC 2000-682 ) CRTC 2000-12-14〕 The channel launched on October 19, 2005 as ATN Zee Gujarati under a licensing agreement with Zee Entertainment Enterprises, the owners of Zee Gujarati, an Indian-based channel.〔(ATN launches four more digital television channels and acquires more cricket ) ATN press release〕〔(ATN launches four more digital television channels and acquires more cricket ) Channel Canada 2005-10-24〕 In May 2009, Zee Gujarati ceased operations in India due to losses at the network.〔(Zee gujarati to close down ) Gujarati Global 2009-05-02〕〔(ZEE Gujarati to close down in India ) Mediauk.com 2009-01-22〕 As a result, in June 2009, ATN rebranded the network ATN Gujarati and began supplying much of its programming from TV9. On August 30, 2013, the CRTC approved Asian Television Network's request to convert ATN Gujarati from a licensed Category B specialty service to an exempted Cat. B third language service.〔(ATN Punjabi Channel – Revocation of licence )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ATN Gujarati」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
