The channel was licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) as Pulse 24 in 1996 and was launched as CablePulse 24 (CP24) on March 30, 1998, under the ownership of CHUM Limited and minority partner Sun Media, owner of the Toronto Sun daily newspaper. Sun writers and commentators were featured regularly on the channel. On December 1, 2004 CHUM Limited acquired the remaining interest of CP24 (giving it 100% of its shares), when the Sun's owners sold their 29.9% share in CP24 after acquiring its independent broadcast station CKXT, the same day that CHUM Limited took control of Craig Media Inc. and its assets. On June 22, 2007, CTVglobemedia took control of CP24 as a result of a buyout of CHUM Limited. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...
