HGTV is a Canadian English-language discretionary cable and satellite specialty channel owned as a joint venture between Corus Entertainment (which serves as managing partner and owns 80.24% majority control through licensee HGTV Canada, Inc.) and Warner Bros. Discovery (which owns the remaining 19.76%).^[1] HGTV broadcasts programs relating to real estate, home and garden design, and renovations.

This channel was launched on October 17, 1997 under the joint ownership of Atlantis Communications and E. W. Scripps Company. Atlantis merged with Alliance Communications to form Alliance Atlantis Communications in 1998 and the stake of HGTV was then acquired. After several ownership changes throughout the years while maintaining the same format, the channel has been owned by Corus since 2016.

The network's programming draws partially from the U.S. version of the channel, but it also carries original Canadian-produced series, some of which have in turn also been picked up for broadcast by the U.S. network or others internationally, as well as a smaller selection of home renovation programming acquired from other producers in the United States or the United Kingdom.

In June 2024, it was announced that Rogers Sports & Media had acquired the Canadian rights to all Warner Bros. Discovery lifestyle and factual brands; as a result, the channel will rebrand as Home Network on December 30, 2024, which will replace HGTV U.S. programs with other acquisitions to accompany its existing Canadian productions. Rogers is scheduled to launch a second iteration of HGTV under its ownership on January 1, 2025.
