==History==
On November 24, 2000 Global Television Network Inc., a subsidiary of Canwest, was granted approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch a national English-language Category 2 specialty television service called ''Extreme Sports'', described as ''"featuring the best of "off-beat" sports programming that will give Canadians the opportunity to live vicariously through the ultimate high associated with such extreme pastimes as high altitude sky diving, cliff diving, white water rafting, and mountain climbing."''〔(Decision CRTC 2000-566 ) CRTC 2000-12-14〕
The channel launched on September 7, 2001 as X-Treme Sports.〔(Global ready to launch two sports specialty channels ; International soccer, rugby and cricket part of Fox lineup ) Toronto Star 2001-08-15〕
In September 2008, Canwest announced the closure of X-Treme Sports set for October 9 of that year. Canwest cited low growth potential, lack of any profitability and the requirement for a larger subsequent investment for there to be any realistic possibility of the channel ever becoming profitable, an investment which was unlikely to prove to be fruitful for Canwest's owners, for its reasons to discontinue the service.〔(X-Treme Sports is Shutting Down ) Channel Canada 2008-09-06〕
