Canada ESPN International does not directly operate its own channels in
Canada, but owns a 20 percent
voting interest (and slightly larger equity interest) in
CTV Specialty Television, a subsidiary of the Canadian media company
Bell Media. Canadian regulations on the foreign ownership of broadcasters prohibit ESPN from acquiring majority interest. Although these channels have retained their local brands (ESPN having acquired part-ownership several years after TSN and RDS launched), they adopted ESPN-style logos in 2001, and use other ESPN branding elements such as the
SportsCentre title for TSN's sports highlights programs. CTV Specialty also operated a
Canadian version of ESPN Classic from 2001 to 2023. Through CTV Specialty, ESPN also has an indirect interest in the
Canadian version of USA Network and several CTV-branded factual channels. These holdings, all operated in association with
Warner Bros. Discovery until December 2024, date to CTV Specialty's previous incarnations as
Labatt Communications and later as
NetStar Communications, in which ESPN also held a minority interest. Disney/ESPN is not believed to have any direct involvement with these channels, two of which (
CTV Nature Channel and
CTV Wild Channel) compete directly with Disney's
National Geographic brand which is separately licensed to
Corus Entertainment in Canada. However, after rebranding in 2025, USA Network began airing some overflow sports programming sublicensed from TSN. ESPN is also indirectly associated with
TSN Radio, a brand used by several sports radio stations (each wholly owned by Bell Media), each of which also carries a limited amount of
ESPN Radio programming. •
