MusiquePlus is a Canadian French language Category A specialty channel. Established in 1987, the network was initially formed as a French-language version of the English-language music network MuchMusic, and was—until 2006—operated as a joint venture between MuchMusic's parent company CHUM Limited, and Montreal-based radio broadcaster Astral Media. Following the acquisition of CHUM by CTVglobemedia, Astral Media acquired CHUM's stake in MusiquePlus, marking its separation from common ownership with its English counterpart. After the 2013 acquisition of Astral by CTVglobemedia's predecessor Bell Media, MusiquePlus was sold to V Media Group, parent company of Quebec's V network.
MusiquePlus primarily airs music programming, including pop, R&B, and rock music videos; however, as with its English counterpart, the network has increasingly branched out into entertainment programming, such as comedy, films, and reality shows.
As a Category A service, MusiquePlus must be carried on the basic service of all digital television providers serving the province of Quebec. Outside of Quebec, however, carriage of MusiquePlus is optional and at the discretion of local service providers.
