ICraveTV (original) (raw)

iCraveTV was a Canadian website, which operated from 1999 to 2000. The site offered streaming Internet broadcasts of the conventional television stations, both Canadian and American, that were available as over-the-air signals in Toronto. Although it was in operation for just three months before shutting down, the site had the effect of pressuring both Canadian and American television networks to start streaming their own programming directly on the web, and thus played a disproportionately prominent role in the development of the web as it exists in the 21st century.
