Bravo! is a Canadian English language cable television specialty channel owned by CTVglobemedia. It concentrates on the arts, including; music, ballet, literature, drama, visual arts, modern dance, opera and architecture. It originally used the tagline "NewStyleArtsChannel". The "Bravo" name is used under licence from NBC Universal, which owns the U.S.-based service Bravo . However, aside from the name and the interview series Inside the Actors Studio, there has been essentially no connection between the two channels since 2001, when the American Bravo network (then under the ownership of Cablevision's Rainbow Media) changed its direction away from focusing on performing arts towards a general programming direction. While both channels air feature films and drama series, most of Bravo (U.S.)'s recent original programs have been reality series which have little to do with the performing arts, many of which are aired in Canada by competing channels. ...
