About 365netTV

365netTV

Overview

365netTV is a Chinese-language internet television service based in Toronto, Ontario, publishing video and written content at 365nettv.com for the Chinese-speaking community of the Greater Toronto Area. It is a web-native operation rather than a broadcast or cable channel: there is no transmitter, no channel position and no CRTC broadcasting licence involved in its distribution, only a website organised into subject channels. When the site was inspected directly in a live check on 17 October 2026, it was carrying real, current content dated 16 October 2026, confirming that the service is active today. The masthead of the site names its operator as 365 New Media Inc.

The service's output is built around the practical information needs of Chinese-speaking residents of the Toronto region. Its documented channel lineup covers local and community news, interviews, entertainment, food, real estate and finance, immigration, services for international students, and travel. Articles and reports on the site are bylined to the service itself — "加拿大网络电视 365NETTV.COM", or Canada Network Television — rather than to individually named presenters, which is characteristic of a small, collectively credited production team.

History

No verified founding date for 365netTV could be established from public sources, and none is claimed here. The outlet has attracted almost no third-party documentation: there is no encyclopedia entry for it, no press coverage of the company in mainstream or trade media, and no published corporate history. What exists is a small number of dated traces, and this profile sets them out for what they are.

The earliest third-party sighting located in research is from August 2017, when a report of an Association of Chinese Canadian Entrepreneurs (ACCE) event — content originating from the site itself — circulated with the service's byline, showing that 365netTV was already producing community event coverage by that year. One further dated public record fits the same period: a Canadian trademark application, No. 1,816,278, filed on 29 December 2016 by a North York applicant, covers a Chinese-character design mark whose elements translate as "Canada Chinese Web Media Television", "Canada Social Media Television", "Canada Mobile Media Television" and "Canada New Media Television". The lead name in that application, 加拿大网络电视台 (Canada Network Television Station), corresponds to the 加拿大网络电视 name under which 365netTV's reports are bylined, and its "New Media Television" element corresponds to the operator named on the site today, 365 New Media Inc. The application, published in the Trademarks Journal in February 2018, is evidence that the brand family behind the service was being formalised in late 2016; it is not, by itself, a launch date for the website.

Between that 2016–2017 cluster of records and the present, the third-party trail goes quiet — no dated references to the service from the intervening years could be verified. That silence should not be read as proof of inactivity: small community web outlets routinely operate for years without outside documentation. What is firmly established is the position at each end of the record — an operating service by 2017, and a live site publishing new content in October 2026, verified by direct inspection. The year-by-year history in between is simply not documented in sources available to this profile.

Programming and Content

365netTV's programming is organised as a set of subject channels rather than a linear schedule, reflecting its on-demand web format. The documented lineup comprises news, interview programming, entertainment, food coverage, real estate and finance, immigration, a strand directed at international students, and travel. The mix is distinctive in its weighting: alongside general news and entertainment sit two explicitly settlement-oriented strands — immigration and international students — that address viewers who are in the process of moving to, studying in or settling in Canada, not only those already established.

Community coverage is a documented part of the output. The August 2017 ACCE event report, the earliest verified trace of the service, is an example of the genre: on-the-ground reporting of a Chinese-Canadian business-community event in the Toronto area, produced under the service's own byline. Event reporting of this kind — association functions, community gatherings and business occasions — is the staple content of Chinese-language community television in the GTA, and 365netTV's documented work sits squarely in that tradition.

All content is produced in Chinese for a Chinese-speaking audience. Reports are credited collectively to 加拿大网络电视 365NETTV.COM rather than to named reporters or hosts, so the public face of the service is the brand itself rather than individual personalities.

Audience and Reach

365netTV publishes no audience figures, and no independent measurement of its viewership or traffic could be located; its reach therefore cannot be quantified, and this profile does not estimate it. The audience it addresses can, however, be documented from census data. Statistics Canada's 2021 Census recorded a population of 6,202,225 in the Toronto census metropolitan area, 46.6 per cent of whom were immigrants, while 26.3 per cent of residents spoke a non-official language most often at home — Mandarin and Cantonese among the leading such languages. Nationally, the same census counted more than 1.6 million people belonging to the Chinese visible-minority population, the country's second-largest such group, with the Toronto region its largest concentration.

The channel lineup maps directly onto that population's information needs. Immigration and international-student strands speak to newcomers and to the large flow of Chinese students into Toronto-area colleges and universities; real estate and finance content addresses households making settlement and investment decisions in one of Canada's most expensive housing markets; and food, entertainment and community news serve the established Cantonese- and Mandarin-speaking communities of Toronto, Scarborough, Markham, Richmond Hill and Mississauga. As a free website, the service is available to any viewer with an internet connection, in the GTA and beyond.

Digital Presence

Digital distribution is not an extension of 365netTV's business; it is the whole of it. The service exists at 365nettv.com, where its channels and reports are published directly to the open web. That model carries a regulatory consequence worth noting: because it distributes over the internet rather than by broadcast or cable, 365netTV operates outside the CRTC licensing framework that governs Toronto's licensed Chinese-language television services, such as the Fairchild Group's channels, and alongside the multilingual programming of OMNI Television it forms part of a two-tier landscape — licensed broadcasters on one side, unlicensed web services like this one on the other.

The site also functions as the service's public front door: it carries the operator's name, 365 New Media Inc., and a published editorial email address, editor@365nettv.com, together with telephone contact numbers. Beyond its own pages, the outlet maintains little independently documented presence — research found no substantial third-party directory listings or social-media record that could be verified — so the website itself is both the product and the primary evidence of the service's operation.

Ownership and Organisation

The operator of 365netTV, as named on the site's own masthead, is 365 New Media Inc. That single corporate name is the extent of what the service publicly discloses about itself: no executives, presenters or production staff are named in any source available to this profile, and no parent company or affiliated media group could be verified. The December 2016 trademark application described in the History section — filed by an individual applicant in North York, one of the Toronto districts with the largest Chinese populations — is consistent with a small, locally rooted operation formalising its brand names, but the application alone does not establish the company's internal ownership, and no fuller corporate picture is asserted here.

Organisationally, what can be observed is the output structure: a multi-channel content service covering news, business and settlement topics, produced under a collective byline, with an editorial contact point at editor@365nettv.com. The scale implied by that structure and by the absence of any public staff roster is that of a compact community-media operation rather than a broadcaster with a large newsroom.

Contact and Availability

365netTV is available free on the open web at http://www.365nettv.com/, publishing in Chinese for viewers in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. The service is operated by 365 New Media Inc., and its published editorial contact is editor@365nettv.com; the site also lists telephone numbers for the station. There is no subscription, channel number or broadcast schedule — all programming is accessed directly through the website.
