Star Channel was a premium pay television specialty channel available in four provinces in Atlantic Canada between February 1 and November 27, 1983. It was one of several regional pay-TV services authorized by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to co-exist with the national service First Choice. While Star Channel was competitive with First Choice in obtaining subscribers for most of its life, the nascent industry struggled financially, and high installation costs stunted subscriber growth in the company's home city of Halifax, Nova Scotia.
