A Canadian Press article about the channel's launch said: "The treehouse environment, for example," a recurring interstitial between programs, "operates much like that city block on Sesame Street, as the anchor or umbrella locale from which the various program elements are spun off."John McKay, "Treehouse TV targets six-and-under crowd", Canadian Press NewsWire. Toronto: Dec 11, 1997.
The channel is a spin-off of YTV, of which had aired repeats of The Muppet Show and other Muppet productions for many years. In Canada, YTV aired The Jim Henson Hour in its first run."Muppets returning to YTV in new Toronto-made series"
