Blockbuster Programming for Women

If your target is women, your network is W. W Network programs are entertaining, high quality, dynamic and diverse. We provide a compelling and contemporary television network for all Canadian women. W is committed to bringing women the best entertainment that television has to offer through our distinctive program schedule. Our goal is to maintain our number one specialty television position for women aged 25-54 and 18-49 and to be their destination station in Canada.

Our schedule includes a mix of blockbuster movies, comedy and drama series, specials/documentaries and unique lifestyle programming for women all day, every day. We strive to make our 24-hour programming as unique and diverse as the women who watch W Network and to continually provide our audience with valuable tips from our 'W Experts'.

The network was launched in 1994 as WTN. In 2002, Corus Entertainment purchased the network and rebranded as W Network, tripling its audience in three years. W Network is seen in more than 6 million homes across Canada, reaching 10 million viewers each month.

Commitment to Canadian Independent Producers

W has commissioned hundreds of hours of programming custom-made for our audience by some of Canada's finest independent producers. We are committed to working with independent producers across Canada in a wide array of genres.

Programming

With on-going extensive research based on women across the country, our program schedule has been designed to include the kinds of shows that women want to watch.

The prime time schedule offers several movie nights filled with Blockbuster movies, unique lifestyle programming like flagship shows The Shopping Bags, Style by Jury and the ever-popular Colour Confidential with Jane Lockhart. W Network Original Productions also include newer favourites like Divine Design, Take This House and Sell It, Maxed Out, The Smart Woman Survival Guide and Rescue Mediums.

W Network also acquires a variety of completed Canadian and international programming including dramatic series, sitcoms, Specials, MOWs and lifestyle. W Network actively seeks like-minded Canadian and international production partners and may also pre-license programs for a second window in Canada.
