The channel's original logo on a blue background. A
2D version of its current logo, it has used several different colours through its use until 2004, when it introduced its current
3D version.
In November 2000, a partnership between Stornoway Communications and Cogeco called Stornoway Communications Limited Partnership, was granted approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch a television channel called The Dance Channel, described as "a national English-language Category 2 specialty television service devoted to all aspects of dance."[1]
The channel was launched on September 7, 2001 as bpm:tv with a schedule largely focused on music video programming focusing on electronic dance music.[2]
In January 2004, the CRTC approved an application that would see Stornoway acquire Cogeco's interest in the service.[3]
