Toonami Channel (Canada)

''Toonami Channel redirects here. For the United States channel of the same name, see Toonami Channel (U.S. TV channel).''

Toonami Channel was a Canadian English-language Category B specialty channel that is owned by Corus Entertainment. Programs aired on the channel consist of programming aired on the U.S. television block Toonami, as well as programming imported from Jetix around the world and series seen on its sister channels.

In July 2017, it was announced that a French feed of the channel was to begin broadcasting in August 2017; however, the French-language channel was never launched and the license has since expired.

The channel rebranded as the second incarnation of SurgeAnime Canada on October 14, 2019.

History
The channel was launched by Corus Entertainment on April 11th, 2017. Previously, programming blocks were introduced to YTV Family and the French feed of Cartoon Network Canada.

In May 2019, it was announced that the channel may be sold off due to lowering ratings and a then-planned revamp of YTV Spark into AuraRerun, which would have carried exclusive Canadian broadcast rights to most of the series that were formerly airing on Toonami Channel, with a few exceptions. Jewelpet, which was a mainstay on Toonami Channel since July 2017, was removed from the schedule entirely (alongside Jewelpet Academy) by May 25th, 2019 and replaced with Beyblade during sale talks so that AuraAnime Licensing could focus on its YTV Family airings. Most other shoujo series, save for Happy Happy Clover, Palm Town, and the DiC dub of Sailor Moon, were removed in June 2019. Palm Town and Happy Happy Clover would later be removed from the lineup and replaced with Naruto once the sale was finalized. Meanwhile, all remaining AuraAnime Licensing/Aura Television Productions content would be removed from the lineup upon the rebrand.

The sale was finalized late at night on July 25th, 2019.
