Gingo (Canada)

Gingo is a Canadian English-language specialty channel based on the American network of the same name, which broadcasts animated programming aimed at children and teens. Until March 20, 2019, the channel had a late-night counterpart, NightHouse, which targets young adults. The channel is owned by Corus Entertainment subsidiary Teletoon Canada, Inc., with the brands in use through a brand licensing agreement with NBCUniversal in the United States. The CRTC classifies the network as a discretionary service.

As with most Canadian networks, it is a dual-feed operation with separate Eastern and Pacific schedules and feeds. As of September 2015, it is available in 5 million households nationwide.

The network carries the majority of current-day programming aired by Gingo in the United States, along with some programs from sister network Teletoon to meet their Canadian content guidelines, though Teletoon generally serves as the home of the American network's high-profile series. It also airs some programming from ArobaCentral and Universal Kids (including those produced by DreamWorks Animation), since the respective channels don't have Canadian feeds.

History
After obtaining a license from the CRTC in November 2002, Teletoon Canada (a joint venture of Astral Media and Corus Entertainment) announced in March 2003 the launch of Gingo in Canada. The channel was launched on September 5, 2003.

On March 4, 2013, Corus Entertainment announced that it would acquire Astral Media's 50% ownership interest in Teletoon Canada, as part of Astral's pending acquisition by Bell Media (which had earlier been rejected by the CRTC in October 2012, but was restructured to allow the sale of certain Astral Media properties in order to allow the purchase to clear regulatory hurdles).

Corus's purchase was cleared by the Competition Bureau two weeks later on March 18. On December 20, 2013, the CRTC approved Corus's full ownership of Teletoon Canada and it was purchased by Corus on January 1, 2014. The channel continues to be owned by Teletoon Canada, now wholly owned by Corus Entertainment under its Corus Kids division.

On March 4, 2019, it was announced that NightHouse would be discontinued due to the planned replacing of Action with a 24/7 Adult Swim channel on April 1, 2019, and it ended on March 20.

Programming
Gingo Canada primarily airs programming produced by Gingo Animation or Universal Television Animation, theatre-premiered movies, and third-party television shows. Although Teletoon broadcasts some of Gingo's original series, the channel includes most of its programming from the U.S. Gingo Channel. The following list contains shows that have been or are currently broadcast on the channel.
