History

Licensed as TechTV Canada by the CRTC on November 24, 2000; it launched under the same name on September 7, 2001 as a joint venture between Rogers Media (33.34%), Shaw Communications (33.33%) and TechTV (33.33%). On May 28, 2004, it was renamed G4techTV as a result of a merge between American cable services TechTV and G4 to become a service under the same name. On February 15, 2005, less than a year after the merger, American service G4techTV was renamed back to G4. Thus far it is unknown why G4techTV Canada did not change its name to G4 when its American counterpart and minority owner did.
