History
Created on 23 December 1985[1] at the initiative of the French corporation Hachette, Canal J was first broadcast on the cable network of Cergy-Pontoise. With 300 households subscribing on that first day, the channel broadcasts mostly cartoons for 3–13 year-old children by video cassettes headend. The program schedule is composed of modules of two hours multicast.
From January 1988, Canal J is exploited in a new company formed around of Europe 1 Communication and the three cable operators Communication and Development, Lyonnaise Communications and overall image . As a part of this new structure, Canal J was the first chain to open in 1988, to all cable systems for cable and community antenna through the satellite system Telecom 1C . Now that it was available everywhere in France, the chain went from 50 000 to 100 000 subscribers and then began its cable subscription growth. By the end of 1989, it had 160,000 subscribers and gained more than 300 000 subscribers the following year.
The abandonment of the project cost terrestrial broadcasting by subscription (Paris + twenty-two cities in France) and DTH satellite TDF 1 allowed it to launch an ambitious strategy of investment in original programming, during which it started to produce and co-produce programs (Cashew, the intrepid, The stories of the Father Castor). Gradually, from cartoons to the benefit of shrinking fiction, films, magazines, documentaries and games. The regular meetings were established, offering programs and widen the range of genres and renew themselves. Canal J continued its subscription growth. During 1991, the number of subscribers increased from 330 000 to 550 000 homes.
The launch in November 1992 of CanalSatellite analog (DTH seven channels) allowed Canal J to be received throughout France. In 1993, Canal J created the event on television rebroadcasts daily Island children to older children nostalgic for the years 1974–1982 to find Casimir and Leonardo, and attracting the same an older audience.

At Christmas 1995, Canal J celebrated ten years and, for the first time, the chain is in financial balance through the 1.5 million subscriber households. Canal J was included in the digital package of CanalSatellite when that launched in 1996, and magazines are broadcast on Canal France International (CFI) from 1 May 1996 in a module of two hours of programming for Canal J for Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
