In January, Canadian viewers will have the opportunity to preview programming from Corus Entertainment’s new 24-hour channel, ABC Spark.

Viewers can tune in to YTV, W Network and CMT (Canada) to preview shows such as Switched at Birth and Melissa & Joey.

The programming comes in advance of the Canadian debut of ABC Spark in March.

ABC Family’s seven-year-old millennial brand in the US was recently acquired by Canada’s Corus Entertainment in a licensing deal with Disney/ABC Television Group.

Switched at Birth, starring Vanessa Marano (Gilmore Girls), will air on YTV on January 16 and on the W Network January 21. Melissa & Joey, starring Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence, will also air on January 16 on CMT.
