Historia is a Canadian French language Category A specialty channel owned by Corus Entertainment. The network broadcasts programming related to history and historical fiction, and was formerly a sister network to the similar English-language network History Television. ==History== Licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) as Canal Histoire to Alliance Atlantis and Premier Choix Networks (Astral),〔(Decision CRTC 99-111 )〕 the channel was launched on January 31, 2000 as Historia. On January 18, 2008, a joint venture between Canwest and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners known as CW media bought Alliance Atlantis and gained its interest in Historia. The new company also acquired Historia's English language equivalent, History Television (now History). On October 27, 2010, Shaw Communications completed its acquisition of Canwest and Goldman Sachs' interest in CW Media, giving it control of CW Media's 50% interest in Historia.〔(Shaw Communications closes purchase of Canwest TV assets, rebrands as Shaw Media )〕〔(CRTC approves Shaw’s purchase of the Canwest Global television properties )〕 On March 4, 2013, Corus Entertainment announced that it would acquire Astral Media's stakes in Séries+ and Historia, as well as several other properties, under separate transactions with the two companies. The purchase was tied to Bell Media's pending takeover of Astral Media; an earlier proposal had been rejected by the CRTC in October 2012 due to concerns surrounding its total market share following the merger, but was restructured under the condition that the companies divest certain media properties.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/bce-to-sell-assets-to-corus-as-part-of-astral-deal/article9272784/?cmpid=rss1 )〕 In a separate deal, Corus also acquired Shaw's interests in Séries+ and Historia, giving it full ownership. The deals were approved by the CRTC on December 20, 2013〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2013/2013-738.htm )〕 and Corus become the full owner of the channel on January 1, 2014.
