Launching on September 2, 1986, MusiquePlus first originated with only an eight hour schedule; it consisted of interviews and performaces that were taped from a studio on Boulevard St. Laurent in Montreal and music videos.

At the time MusiquePlus was owned 100% by CHUM Limited as a division of MuchMusic. At this time MusiquePlus was not licensed by the CRTC.

Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2005-536 (2014 words)
The Commission approves the application by MusiquePlus inc. to amend the broadcasting licence for the national, French-language analog specialty programming undertaking known as MusiquePlus, to specify that the service shall be packaged and distributed by Class 1 broadcasting distribution undertakings on a "modified dual status" basis instead of on a "dual status" basis.
CCSA argued that a substantial portion of MusiquePlus’ subscription revenues are generated from its carriage on DTH BDUs and Class 2 and Class 3 cable BDUs, which are not subject to the dual status rules.
The licensee argued that, since MusiquePlus is carried on discretionary tiers with high penetration, which have a comparable number of subscribers to the basic service, transferring MusiquePlus to the basic service would not result in a significant increase in subscribers.
Decision CRTC 87-897 (3016 words)
This satellite-to-cable service will be available on an optional basis for distribution on the basic service of cable television affiliates situated in regions served by a satellite beam covering eastern Canada, in accordance with the provisions outlined in the Public Notices accompanying this decision (Public Notices CRTC 1987-260 and CRTC 1987-261).
The applicant specified that, according to its revenue projections, it should be in a position to inject a total of $830,700 for this purpose over a period of five years, all of which will be directed to musicians and producers.
When questioned at the hearing as to its revenue projections and the estimated penetration of its service, the applicant stated that it was confident that it would be able to ensure the viability of the service, noting that the existing part-time music video service already has more than 350,000 subscribers in the province of Quebec.
