Original logo used from 2001 - 2004
In November 2000, a partnership between Stornoway Communications and Cogeco was granted a category 1 television broadcasting licence from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) called The Issues Channel, described as "a national English-language specialty television service dedicated to public affairs programming, that will examine matters of public interest and concern in an engaging format."[1]
The channel was launched on September 7, 2001 as ichannel.[2]
In January 2004, the CRTC approved an application that would see Stornoway acquire Cogeco's interest in the service.[3]
