HSTN
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
High School Television Network, more commonly referred to as HSTN is a now defunct Canadian category 2 digital cable specialty channel. It launched on August 26, 2002 on Rogers Cable and it planned to show high school sports, concerts, and plays from across Canada. Also every Friday night it intended to broadcast live from a high school dance. During its early existence, however, it showed very little besides endless repeats of Sponsé, a Toronto-area amateur film made by high school students. The channel disappeared soon after its creation.
On September 30, 2005, SF Partners Inc.' purchased the channel and re-named it YES-TV and intended to re-launch the service. As of late 2007, there has been no indication that this service would be re-launching. In addition, the licence granted by the CRTC has since expired and thus the owners would have to re-apply for a licence if they intend to launch it which does not appear likely at this point.
