Vanessa is a Canadian English language Category B pay TV adult entertainment television channel consisting of primarily softcore adult content in the form of films, documentaries, reality shows, and variety shows, among others, between 6:00am to 11:00pm EST, while hardcore content fills the remainder of the schedule. The channel is owned by Sex-Shop Television Inc., a division of IDI.
History
In March 2009, Sex-Shop Television Inc. was granted approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch Vanessa, described as "a national English-language Category 2 pay television programming service devoted to the themes of charm, sensuality, eroticism and sexuality."
A French language version of Vanessa initially launched on October 28, 2010, with an English version expected to launch the following year; however it did not launched as planned. When in October 2012, Sex-Shop Television was given approval from the CRTC to convert the French Vanessa into a bilingual service due to Sex-Shop Television citing difficulties launching a fully dedicated English channel, it appeared as though plans to launch an English service were scrapped. However, on March 13, 2013 Sex-Shop Television announced through Vanessa's Facebook page that an English language channel was launching the same day on Vidéotron.
