History
In September 2003, ECG was granted approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch a specialty channel called Russian TV One, described as "an ethnic Category 21 specialty television service... targeting the Russian-speaking community."
The channel launched on June 23, 2004, along with 3 other channels from ECG, as RTVi, through a licensing agreement with the Russian broadcaster.
A sister-channel, branded RTVi+ was launched in the Fall of 2005, however, it was discontinued in 2009.
On November 4, 2014, the CRTC approved EGC's request to convert RTVi from a licensed Category B (formerly category 2) specialty service to an exempted category B third language service.
