The channel's original logo on a blue background. A 2D version of its current logo, it has used several different colours through its use until 2004, when it introduced its current 3D version.

In November 2000, a partnership between Stornoway Communications and Cogeco called Stornoway Communications Limited Partnership, was granted approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch a television channel called The Dance Channel, described as "a national English-language Category 2 specialty television service devoted to all aspects of dance."[1]

The channel was launched on September 7, 2001 as bpm:tv with a schedule largely focused on electronic dance music video programming but steered away from the European-based underground EDM and redirected its interest towards a more mainstream radio sound.[2]

In January 2004, the CRTC approved an application by Stornoway to acquire Cogeco's interest in the service.[3]

On April 30, 2015, Cogeco announced on their Facebook page that bpm:tv will be "shutting down operations" effective June 1, 2015.[4] The shutdown was subsequently confirmed by bpm:tv via an official announcement posted on their website.

Programming
