World View Multicultural was a Canadian regional premium television service based in British Columbia licensed by the CRTC in 1982.^[1]

World View Multicultural was launched on February 1, 1983 like the rest of the Canadian pay-TV channels.^[2]

In August 1985, World View Multicultural was acquired by Cathay International Television and subsequently the channels license was amended to provide 96% of programming in Chinese and 4% in English.^[3]

90% was owned by a company controlled by Frank Zimmer and George Spracklin.^[4]

They held $15.8 million in equity at the time of license.

They promised to spend $46.3 million on Canadian content over 5 years (1983–88), and would make a $6.4 million profit by 1988.
