HSTN (an acronym for High School Television Network) was a Canadian English language category 2 digital cable specialty channel aimed at high school students. ==History== On June 4, 2001, Frank Rogers, on behalf of a company to be incorporated, was granted approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch a national English-language Category 2 specialty television service called ''The High School Television Network'', described as ''"devoted to the lifestyles of high school students across Canada. Programming will focus on high school sports (non-professional), drama, music, concerts within the school system, talk and panel shows and news coverage of events pertaining to or affecting the student population. High School Television Network will also provide a medium to broadcast student films or videos completed as a class project or ventures on their own."''〔(CRTC Decision 2001-311 )〕 The channel launched in August 2002 as HSTN〔(Digital's first casualty ) Mediacaster Magazine 2003-03-04〕 on Rogers Cable. It planned to show high school sports, concerts, dance programs, plays, high school news and information, among others. During its early existence, however, it showed very little besides endless repeats of ''Sponsé'', an amateur film made by high school students in Toronto. The channel signed-off on October 15, 2002.〔 On February 28, 2003, HSTN Inc. was placed in receivership and was to be temporarily managed by SF Partners Inc.〔(Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2003-78 ) CRTC 2003-02-28〕 On September 30, 2005, SF Partners purchased the channel〔(CRTC Decision 2005-473 )〕 and planned to renamed it YES-TV. The channel was intended to relaunch at a later date. However, the service did not launch as intended. 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「HSTN」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
