Stingray Retro is a Canadian English language discretionary specialty channel owned by the Stingray Group. The channel mainly broadcasts music videos from the 1980s to the early 2010s, with some occasional pre-1980s music videos played at times.
This channel was launched on September 4, 2003 as MuchMoreRetro under the ownership of CHUM Limited, the parent company of Citytv and was conceived as spin-off of MuchMoreMusic focusing on retro music. Throughout various ownership changes and rebrandings, this channel was acquired by Stingray and adopted its current name in 2016.
