History

On October 25, 2007, Waylen Group, through its subsidiary L S Movie Channel Limited, was granted a licence by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to operate L S Times.[1] The channel officially launched in October 2009, on Rogers Cable under the name LS Times TV. On September 15, 2010, LS Times TV launched on Shaw Cable. On July 4, 2012, LS Times launched on Optik TV.

In July 2012, LS Times officially launched on Bell TV & Bell Fibe TV. As a result of these launches, LS Times is now available across the country via satellite for the very first time. It subsequently launched on Novus Cable on May 1, 2013 and on Cogeco in August 2013.

On August 30, 2013, the CRTC approved Waylen Group's request to convert LS Times TV from a licensed Category B specialty service to an exempted Cat. B third language service.[2]
