History

In October 2011, TLN Media Group, at the time a consortium majority owned by Corus Entertainment, was granted approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch a television channel called All Spanish Children’s Television, described as "a national, niche third-language ethnic specialty Category B service devoted to providing programming to the Spanish-speaking community or to Canadians of Hispanic descent, and who are from preschool age to seventeen years of age."[1]

The channel launched on November 1, 2011 as TeleNiños, exclusively on Vidéotron.[2] On December 4, 2014, TeleNiños launched on Bell Fibe TV. On May 31, 2016, TeleNiños launched on Cogeco.[3] On August 31, 2017, TeleNiños launched on Rogers.[4]

As of February 11, 2019, it and sister channel Telebimbi have operated under exempt status.[5] Shortly after, Corus sold its stake in Telelatino Network to the other co-owners.[6]

Programming
