[edit] History
Mystery TV was licensed as 13th Street by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) on November 24, 2000 to Canwest (45.05%), Groupe TVA (45.05%) and Rogers Communications (9.9%). Before the channel's launch, both Canwest and Groupe TVA acquired Rogers' shares in the service equally. The channel was launched as Mystery on September 7, 2001. (TVA, Canwest and Rogers also owned the same shares of its French counterpart, Mystère, which would become wholly owned by TVA before launch.)
On October 27, 2010, Shaw Communications completed its acquisition of Canwest, giving it control of Canwest's 50% interest in Mystery TV.[1]

On December 22, 2011, Groupe TVA announced its intentions to sell its share of The Cave and Mystery TV to Shaw Communications, giving Shaw full control of these two channels. The deal is subject to approval by the CRTC.[2]
