== Launch ==
On September 5, 2006, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) granted CHUM Limited permission to launch a national Category 1 digital specialty channel tentatively known as Split; a channel described as being "devoted to youth-oriented shows and movies".
On October 1, 2006, CHUM Limited announced that the channel would launch as the Canadian version of Freemont.
On February 1, 2007, Freemont Canada was launched with the first show being a rerun of web-series, Homestar Runner.
On May 1, 2010, lifestyle programs were added to the network.
On June 7, 2018, during the CTV upfronts, it was announced that Freemont Canada would eventually rebrand as "CTV Surge", as part of a realignment of several Bell Media channels under the CTV name. That idea was scrapped the following months.
On January 1, 2023, the network rebranded as "Freenity" following the rebranding of its American counterpart.
