[edit] History
On November 24, 2000, a consortium of companies including Groupe TVA (50.1%), Publications Transcontinental Inc (30%) and BCE Media Inc (19.9%) were granted a broadcasting licence by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) for a television channel called LCN Affaires, described as "a national French-language Category 1 specialty television service devoted to business and personal finance."[1]
Before the channel launched, Groupe TVA bought the remaining shares from the other partners, bringing its ownership to 100%. Shortly thereafter, the channel was launched on February 21, 2005 as ARGENT.[2]
