Vrak (stylized as VRΔK) was a Canadian French language specialty channel owned by Bell Media. The channel primarily broadcast live-action programming aimed at 13-to-35 age group audiences. Launched in 1988 as Le Canal Famille,[1] the channel ceased operations on October 1, 2023, due to declining viewership and having been deemed "outdated" by Bell Media.[2]
