ABC partners with Corus to launch youth network in Canada

Hoping to build on its success drawing the young-adult crowd, the ABC Television Group said Wednesday it was planning to launch a new network next spring in Canada called ABC Spark.
The Walt Disney Co. unit is partnering on the channel with Corus Entertainment, a publicly traded Toronto-based company, which owns radio stations and TV programming services. Disney will license its content to the service, and Corus will line up distribution. Financial details were not disclosed.
The venture aims to create a 24-hour network modeled after Disney's hugely successful ABC Family cable channel in the United States.
