Much (formerly and commonly known as MuchMusic) is an Ontarian English language specialty channel owned by Bell Media that primarily airs comedy programming aimed at teenagers and young adult men. Much launched on August 31, 1984, under the ownership of CHUM Limited, and was originally focused on music programming, including blocks of music videos and original series focusing on Canadian musicians. In the years since its acquisition by Bell, Much has canceled the majority of its music programming due to budget and staffing cuts. The channel's full name was retired in 2013 in reflection of its decreasing reliance on music-related programming.
