MusiMax is a Canadian French language cable television music specialty channel operating out of Montreal, Quebec. It is the sister channel of MusiquePlus and the French analogue to MuchMoreMusic (the sister station of MuchMusic.) Its focus is oriented more toward the adult-contemporary and soft-rock market, interspersed with programming dedicated to classic rock, as well as many films. The channel launched on September 8, 1997 and is owned by Astral Media (50%) and CHUM Limited (50%).
On July 12, 2006, CTVglobemedia announced they would make a friendly takeover bid to buy CHUM Limited. CTV's initial plans were to keep all CHUM's specialty channels, although through its application to the CRTC, MusiMax along with other channels were listed as services that will be put up for sale.
