Knowledge Network is a Canadian English language public educational cable television network in the province of British Columbia. It is owned by Knowledge Network Corporation, a crown corporation of the Government of British Columbia; it gained this status in 2008. The station began broadcasting on January 12, 1981.
Knowledge Network’s broadcast licence is for satellite-to-cable programming, although it also broadcasts over-the-air in remote locations throughout British Columbia. These repeater sites are operated by local volunteers in the few areas of the province where cable television is not available. The network is also available on the Bell TV satellite service, on channel 268, on Shaw Direct channel 354, and on TELUS Optik TV channel 117.
Knowledge Network also has a children's block, Knowledge Kids, that features characters Luna, Chip and Inkie.
Knowledge receives funding both from the British Columbia government and from public donations.
