TORONTO – Teletoon Retro has cracked the 8 million subscriber mark for its English and French services, making it highest penetrated all-digital Canadian specialty channel.

"In just over three years since launch, we’ve surpassed all of these objectives and built Teletoon Retro into an over eight-million subscriber service that offers nostalgic quality programming and has a strong co-view audience of parents and kids along with adults 18-49. We thank all of our distribution partners across the country for helping us make Teletoon Retro available to Canadians coast-to-coast."
