==Spin-offs==
The first extension of the Cottage Life brand was the ''Spring Cottage Life Show'', which was first held in 1994 and has been held every spring since. In 2004, The ''Fall Cottage Life Show'' was launched to cater to the growing popularity of year-round cottaging.

In July 2011, Blue Ant Media purchased a 15% interest in Quarto Communications.[http://realscreen.com/2011/07/11/quarto-blue-ant-media-team-up-on-specialty-channel-venture/ Quarto, Blue Ant Media team up on specialty channel venture]. ''[[RealScreen]]'', July 11, 2011. Quarto was granted a license for a [[Category B service]] known as Cottage Life Television in November 2011, which would be focused on programming dealing with [[cottage]] communities and lifestyles.[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2011/2011-713.htm Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2011-713].

Four months after announcing its intent to acquire Bold, a re-brand of the former [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|CBC]] Country Canada channel (which was a joint venture with [[Corus Entertainment]]), Blue Ant would later purchase the remaining shares in Quarto Communication and rename the company Cottage Life Media.[http://www.canadianbusiness.com/article/109215--blue-ant-media-buys-cottage-life-media-terms-not-immediately-available Blue Ant Media buys Cottage Life Media, terms not immediately available]{{dead link|date=August 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}.
