Daystar Canada is a Canadian English language Category B specialty channel that broadcasts Religious programming dedicated to the Christian faith. It is owned by World Impact Ministries, a ministry founded by televangelist Peter Youngren. Originally known as The Christian Channel, it was re-branded as Grace TV in September 2009 following the purchase of the network by Youngren. As of June 2013, the majority of its programming became sourced from the U.S. Evangelical Christian network Daystar, and the network ultimately took on the Daystar brand in November 2013. ==History== The channel was launched on October 1, 2005 as ''The Christian Channel'' by previous owners S-VOX.
