Any News On Any New Channels?

Since my post has been deleted, I will ask again. When in the hell is BEV gonna get new channels added to their lineup??? You look in the Rogers section withing this forum and all you read about is the rumours or releases of new channels. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

This is probably BEV's attitude concerning American satellite television. I think the issue is more complicated than that.

I believe it is all based on marketting surveys and viewer trends for geographical areas. That is one of the reasons foxnews was added instead of bloomburg.
I could be wrong of course. Some will argue that there are an overwhelming number of people on this board who would purchase bloomburg on bev were it available, but on the flipside one has to keep in mind that a: this is a small minority of bev customer and b: many of the people here are of like mind and interest, so it would not be a fair cross-section of the general populace.

nem, who made a point or something resembling one.

Someone in the marketing department on another forum confirmed that Bell Expressvu will launch Fox News Channel on channel 507 labeled FOXNC on May 1st with a free preview until September 1st.

I emailed Expressvu and got the same response.

Exactly the point: we have a lot more freedom here than our poor cousins south o' the border: the draconian measures the FCC uses to impose restrictions would never be tolerated here... especially in areas of concentration of ownership (Ever tried to find an interesting radio station in the States? It's hard to do, since increasing concentration of ownership means more "corporate radio" without much choice of what you can hear!) and adult stuff (recall the fiasco over the Janet Jackson "wardrobe malfunction"? Anywhere else in the civilized world, it would have been an utter non-issue, but you'd think the world had ended the way the FCC cracked down...)

'Nuff said.

That would be great!

I have a feeling some channels would be a lot less - subscribed to. For example, I just added Family 1 to my package, but could care less about all but two channels on it. There may be some channels with little or no viewership.

Mind you... If there were channels no one wanted, BEV would find out really quick whether to replace these channels with something else?

It would certainly give you more freedom to pick.

Bell could only add FuelTV and HD Net if they were approved by the CRTC and the app. for HD Net's been collecting dust for quite some time.
