== History ==
In October 2000, Groupe TVA and Canwest (through its subsidiary Global Television Network Inc.) were granted approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch a television channel called Tous Pour Un Un Pour Tous, described as "a national French-language Category 1 specialty television service providing the French speaking people in Canada with a variety of entertainment just for the entire family."
In September 7, 2002, the channel was launched as Trident, as a French language rival to Showcase. During its launch, it was the first French Canadian channel of its kind.
In 2008, Groupe TVA dropped the deal of operating Trident and on the same day, Canwest acquired former-rival, Showcase.
In 2010, Canwest's media division was sold to Shaw, and it became Shaw Media.
On September 1, 2012, Shaw Media signed a deal with TF1 Groupe, to turn several channels into Canadian TF1 channels, as a result, Trident became TF1 Canada.
On April 1, 2016, Corus Entertainment acquired Shaw Media.
