Headquartered in, the channel is owned by the Rogers Media subsidiary of Rogers Communications and operates as a de facto owned-and-operated station of its Omni Television system. Its studios are shared with former sister station Atlantic Access in Halifax.

Omni Maritimes is licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) as an educational programming service for the Atlantic Canada provinces. It was formerly operated by KTY Telecommunications as a public access service as "Maritimes Public Access" from 1992-1999 and then by the Atlantic Access Corporation as a public broadcaster as "AA2" from 2000-2011. In January 2012, Atlantic Access sold AA2 to Rogers, who affiliated the channel with their Omni system. Omni Maritimes airs commercial-supported multi-language and multicultural programming during the late-afternoon and prime time hours, and English-language commercial-free educational and cultural programming from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily.

Because it is licensed as an educational broadcaster, Omni Maritimes is required to be distributed as part of the basic cable service in all Atlantic Canadian provinces, and is also available on Bell TV and Shaw Direct. The channel is defined as a satellite-to-cable television programming undertaking, meaning that it has full simultaneous substitution rights for its programming in Atlantic Canada, but does not operate any over-the-air transmitters.

Programming
In addition to airing multi-cultural and ethnic programming, Rogers committed when the channel was purchased to maintaining the channel's requirement to air commercial-free educational programming from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily. Children's programming airs from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. in a block branded as Omni Kids, with educational programming for adults and older youth aired from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily.
