One is a Canadian English language Category A cable and satellite specialty channel that is owned by ZoomerMedia. It offers lifestyle and entertainment programming devoted to programming on yoga and meditation, weight loss and fitness, sex and relationships, natural health and nutrition, and alternative medicine.
In November 24, 2000, a consortium consisting of Vision TV Digital (a subsidiary of S-VOX), Radio Nord Communications and Wisdom Media Group, were granted approval for a Category 1 television licence by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). The channel was tentatively known as Wisdom: Canada's Body, Mind & Spirit Channel. Prior to the channel's launch, its ownership was restructured giving Alliance Atlantis and Renewal Partners Company a minority stake in the channel, while Wisdom Media Group's stake was sold. The channel was launched as One: the Body, Mind & Spirit channel on September 7, 2001.
On January 18, 2008, a joint venture between Canwest and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, known as CW Media, bought Alliance Atlantis and gained its minority interest in One. In June 2009, S-VOX announced it would sell its broadcasting assets, including One, to ZoomerMedia, a company controlled by Moses Znaimer. The sale was approved by the CRTC on March 30, 2010. ZoomerMedia assumed control of S-VOX's broadcasting assets on June 30, 2010.
On October 27, 2010, Shaw Communications completed its acquisition of Canwest and Goldman Sachs' interest in CW Media, giving it control of CW Media's 37.77% interest in One. However, in March 2011, Shaw and the other minority stake holders sold their shares in the channel to ZoomerMedia, giving it 100% ownership.
