History Creator / TreehouseTV

Treehouse TV ([[OfficiallyShortenedTitle or simply "Treehouse"]]) is a Canadian network targeted at preschool-age audiences and named after a former {{Creator/YTV}} [[UsefulNotes/BlockProgramming program block]]. If YTV is the Canadian counterpart to {{Creator/Nickelodeon}}, then Treehouse is one for Creator/{{Nick Jr}} and has naturally also aired shows from [[Creator/DisneyChannel Playhouse Disney]] and Creator/PBSKids on top of original programming produced for the network. Since Treehouse is owned by Creator/CorusEntertainment, and Corus also owns Creator/{{Nelvana}}, most of the network's original programming is usually produced by the studio.

!!Treehouse provides examples of the following tropes:
* NetworkDecay: ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has seemingly opened the door to an influx of non-educational, general audience shows to invade Treehouse. The censorship of ''[=FiM=]'' aside, it's still not as bad as what happened to Creator/NickJr and Creator/{{Sprout}}, both of which went as far as to introduce teenage and adult-targeting programs [[MoneyDearBoy for the sake of ratings]].
* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: The bleeping every instance of "loser" in ''[=FiM=]''; the consequence of the show airing on a network targeting preschoolers.
* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Owing to Corus deciding to air ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' on a network that airs preschool programming, reruns have been shown at times inconvenient for some of the show's older fanbase. Premieres of new episodes have been treated fairly, but thanks to the censorship, Treehouse's screwing of the show extended to several episodes throughout its run. Thankfully, past seasons of the show are also available for streaming on Creator/{{Netflix}} in Canada.

If you live in the United States, you may recognize Treehouse from their labeled DVD releases of certain programs, their VanityPlate at the end of one of their shows, or from watching Creator/{{Qubo}} (which airs vault programming from Corus among other companies). In addition to television, Treehouse has also released branded personal care products (shampoo, lotion, etc.), usually featuring Nelvana characters. Naturally, there are [[NoExportForYou no exports for those in the U.S]], unless you choose to do it yourself. There are online Canadian stores that will sell them to you, though don't expect to get off cheaply. According to Wiki/TheOtherWiki, they've recently branched into Jamaica and the Bahamas, but so far have not indicated any interests in branching out further.

The international equivalent of the channel was [=KidsCo=], which covers Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australia and New Zealand, and carried a mixture of Creator/{{Nelvana}} and Creator/DiCEntertainment programming, albeit with a bias towards the latter's programs. The channel was owned as joint venture with Corus, but was ultimately [[ScrewedByTheNetwork screwed over]] by Creator/NBCUniversal and Creator/DHXMedia [[note]]who inherited the partnership from Creator/CookieJarEntertainment, who inherited the partnership when they bought up [=DiC Entertainment=][[/note]] when both companies backed out of the partnership in 2012.
