MuchMoreRetro & MuchLOUD to be Removed in Sept.

07-31-2010, 05:03 AM

Anyone know why this channel (572) is being removed the week of Sept. 1? It just happens to be the only music channel I watch.

I've had a feeling now since news broke of CTVgm consuming CHUM, that those digital music channels would be rebranded as MTV/Vh1. CTV is probably more than willing to expand on its deal with MTVN....
i.e. PunchMuch...MTV Hits, Retro...Vh1 Classic, MMMusic...VH1, Much Vibe...MTV Jams, etc

How can we punish ExpressVu for slowly turning into Shaw?

Nothing mentioned about it on my July or August bill either.

I have Nimiq 2 myself...and didn't get a message about it. Even used to suscribe to Variety 3 in the past!

I suscribe to CMT (Familly 1), I don't have W network (Lifestyle 1). Much Loud (Variety 3) or Much More retro (Variety 3), but there was no info on my bill about any of those changes. Usually when changes like that are done we send a gneral notice to ALLL CLIENTS whether they suscribe to the theme or not

Also in the agent information system (Info Zone) there is no mention of those changes. Usually we are inform about the withdrawl of any channels as soon as the decision is made (like it was the case wen they removed Planete and Euronews)

It's the only music channel I also watch and one of the reasons I switched to Expressvu from Starchoice. Is the channel going off the air or is Bell just removing it from its programming line up?

Coming out of lurk mode to post my 2 cents on this (this forum has become much too trolling lately for my liking)! But I really hope that this channel isn't dropped... it was pretty much the main reason why I switched from my ultimate 7 grandfathered package to the new packages. They wouldn't let me add it unless I switched packages, and now they may be pulling it. I want my grandfathered package back...!

Anyhow... on the EVU technical forum they indicate that "As of October 22nd, MuchLOUD (Channel 573) and MuchMoreRetro (Channel 572) will be removed from Bell ExpressVu's programming line-up." Maybe you can check this with your tehcnical people and confirm this for us AEV. For the record my bill also didn't have this printed on it.

I have received my latest bill now and still no notice regarding the removal of these two channels. However if the removal is now late October rather than early September there are still billing cycles left to notify customers.

I hope these channels stay, especially MuchMoreRetro, but things don't look good.
