Canadian anime fans will be dancing naked in the streets: the Canadian Radio Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has approved YTV's application to create The Anime Channel, a Category 2 specialty channel that will have a minimum of 65% anime programming.

Presumably, this new channel will replace YTV's Anime on Demand service, a video-on-demand service that saw few takers among cable providers.

"1. The licence will be subject to the conditions set out in Introductory statement – Licensing of new digital pay and specialty services – Corrected Appendix 2, Public Notice CRTC 2000-171-1, 6 March 2001.
