Canada
In 1997, Atlantis Communications and Scripps Networks launched a Canadian version of HGTV as a basic cable specialty channel. Through a series of acquisitions over the years, Corus Entertainment became Scripps Networks' partner in the network.
The Canadian version features much of the same programming as the American channel, as well as domestically produced programs, and some similar programming acquired from other broadcasters. Some of HGTV Canada's programs have, in turn, been picked up by the American channel; Love It or List It and Property Brothers have been among HGTV's most popular programs in the United States.[7] The two programs were originally produced for a local sister channel, W Network, but were later moved to HGTV Canada and other sister channels after W Network was retooled as a women's general entertainment channel.[19]
In June 2024, WBD announced that it would end its licensing agreements with Corus and Bell Media for its lifestyle and factual networks beginning in 2025, and transfer Canadian rights to the brands to Rogers Communications.[20] The existing channel will be relaunched by Corus under the in-house brand Home Network effective December 30, 2024,[21][22] while a new HGTV channel under Rogers ownership will launch January 1, 2025.[23]
