CTV Wild Channel is a Canadian English language discretionary specialty channel owned by CTV Wild Canada Company, a subsidiary of CTV Specialty Television. The channel primarily broadcasts factual series and documentaries relating to animals.
The network was originally established in 2001 as a Canadian version of the U.S. cable network Animal Planet, expanding upon CTV's existing relationship with Discovery Communications for Discovery Channel; and the channel upon its launch was operated by the Animal Planet Company, a joint venture of CTV Speciality Television, Discovery Communications and BBC Studios.
In January 2025, the channel was rebranded as CTV Wild Channel, due to Bell losing its rights to Warner Bros. Discovery factual brands and related programming to Rogers Sports & Media. Rogers does not plan to launch a new linear channel for Animal Planet, with its programming to instead be distributed via digital platforms.
