OTTAWA – The CRTC has given the green light to three new category two channels: one devoted to music, one to travel and world cultures, and one to adult programming.
Glassbox Television Inc., owner of Bite TV, received approval for Aux TV, a national, English-language channel focusing on emerging music and its creation, including programming featuring emerging music and aimed at helping emerging musicians.
The Commission also approved the Glassbox application for Trek TV, a national, English-language service targeted at Canadians between the ages of 17 and 27 devoted to world cultures, travel, geography, exploration and anthropology.
Sex-Shop Television Inc. was approved for an adult programming channel called Vanessa, which will focus on the themes of charm, sensuality, eroticism and sexuality, including documentaries, news and magazines covering the industries that exploit those themes and the personalities that revolve around them.
The CRTC turned down an application from Sex-Shop Television in March 2007, when it applied for a French-language channel called Télé Sex-shop that had a similar programming description.
