Dorcel TV is a Canadianpremiumadult entertainment television channel consisting of primarily softcore adult content in the form of films, documentaries, reality shows, and variety shows, among others, between 6:00am to 11:00pm ET, while hardcore content, primarily from Dorcel TV, fills the remainder of the schedule. It is offered in English and French. The channel is owned by Sex-Shop Television Inc., a division of IDI.
In December 2007, Sex-Shop Television Inc. was granted approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch Vanessa, described as "a national French-language Category 2 pay television programming service devoted to the themes of sex appeal, sensuality, eroticism and sexuality."[1] In March 2009, Sex-Shop Television Inc. then obtained approval to launch an English-language service of the same type and name.[2]
A French-language version of Vanessa initially launched on October 28, 2010;[3] Vanessa was added by Bell Satellite TV to its lineup one week later, giving the channel national distribution. An English version was expected to launch the following year;[3] however, it did not launch as planned.
In October 2012, Sex-Shop Television was given approval from the CRTC to convert the French Vanessa into a bilingual service due to Sex-Shop Television citing difficulties launching a fully dedicated English channel,[4] it appeared as though plans to launch an English service were scrapped. However, on March 11, 2013, Sex-Shop Television announced that an English-language channel was launching on March 13, 2013.[5] The channel was revealed to have launched on Vidéotron.
High definition (HD) feeds of the English- and French-language services launched in September 2014 on MTS TV and Telus's Optik TV in Quebec.

In September 2014, Sex-Shop Television reached a licensing deal with the American adult entertainment company Vivid Entertainment, which saw Vanessa re-brand as VividTV on October 28, 2014, and gain access to its library. Half of the network's programming was to come from Vivid, with the remainder from Vanessa's existing productions.[6][7]
On September 1, 2018, both the English and French versions of the channel were rebranded Dorcel TV Canada.[8]
