Travel + Escape is a Canadian English language Category A specialty channel owned by Blue Ant Media. The channel is devoted to travel and adventure programming. ==History== On November 24, 2000, a general partnership consisting of BCE Media Inc./Groupe TVA Inc. (owning 51%) and CTV television Inc. (owning 49%) were granted approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch ''Travel TV'', a category 1 specialty licence devoted to travel and travel-related programming.〔(Decision CRTC 2000-458 ), CRTC, 2000-11-24〕 The channel was launched on September 7, 2001 as CTV Travel under the sole ownership of CTV Television Inc. (parent company later became CTVglobemedia, now known today as Bell Media). On October 30, 2006, CTV Travel was renamed "Travel + Escape" (stylized as travel + escape until October 5, 2011) to give the channel, described by its owner, a new "edgier" look and feel to fit its new shift in programming towards more character-driven and experienced-based series rather than the typical travelogue programs.〔(CTV Travel re-branding pushes ‘escapist entertainment’ ) MediaInCanada.com 2006-10-27〕 On June 8, 2010, it was announced that CTVglobemedia would be selling travel + escape to Glassbox Television.〔(GlassBOX to Acquire Specialty Channel travel + escape from CTV, June 8, 2010 )〕 The sale was approved by the CRTC on October 26〔(Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2010-792 )〕 and closed shortly thereafter. On October 5, 2011, Glassbox Television announced that travel + escape would undergo a major overhaul on November 1, 2011. The overhaul included a new logo, on-air presentation, and a slate of new programming.〔(GlassBOX re-launches Travel+Escape channel with New Look, New Website and over 300 hours of Fresh Programming ) Glassbox Television press release 2011-10-05〕 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「Travel + Escape」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
