Télétoon Rétro (stylized as TÉLÉTOON Rétro) is a defunct Canadian French-language Category B specialty channel owned by Corus Entertainment. The channel was based on the former Télétoon programming block Télétoon Retro and used to broadcast animated series that had commenced production at least 10 years prior to their exhibition. Along with Teletoon Retro, it was available in over 9 million Canadian households as of 2013; together they had the most subscribers among the digital Canadian specialty channels. ==History== Télétoon Rétro was initially a programming block on Télétoon. In October 2005, Teletoon Canada was granted approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch "TELETOON Retro", described at the time as "a national, French-language Category 2 specialty programming undertaking devoted to classic animation and classic animation-related programs from Canada and around the world, including animated movies, specials, series and shorts, all of which commenced production at least ten years prior to their exhibition".〔(Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2005-510 ) CRTC 2005-10-21〕 The channel was launched on September 4, 2008〔(FRENCH-LANGUAGE TELETOON RETRO TO LAUNCH WITH BROADVIEW ) BroadView Software press release 2008-09-04〕 as "Télétoon Rétro". An English-language counterpart, Teletoon Retro, had already been on the air since October 1, 2007. On March 4, 2013, Corus Entertainment announced that it would acquire Astral Media's 50% ownership interest in Teletoon Canada (owner of Teletoon, Télétoon, Teletoon Retro, Télétoon Rétro, and Cartoon Network). The purchase was in relation to Bell Media's pending takeover of Astral (which had earlier been rejected by the CRTC in October 2012, but was restructured to allow the sale of certain Astral Media properties in order to allow the purchase to clear regulatory hurdles).〔(BCE to sell assets to Corus as part of Astral deal ), ''The Globe and Mail'' (via Reuters and The Canadian Press), March 4, 2013.〕 Corus's purchase was cleared by the Competition Bureau two weeks later on March 18; on December 20, 2013, the CRTC approved Corus's full ownership of Teletoon Canada and it was purchased by Corus on January 1, 2014. The channel continues to be owned by Teletoon Canada, now wholly owned by Corus Entertainment under its Corus Kids and Corus Média divisions. In August 2015, Télétoon Rétro announced that the channel would be shut down effective September 1, 2015. Some of its programming will be moved to the main Télétoon network. La chaîne Disney, a French-language version of the upcoming Disney Channel launching in Canada on the same day would take over Teletoon Retro's former channel space and lineup allotments.〔http://www.teletoonretro.com/fr/channel-shift-faq/〕 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「Télétoon Rétro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
