[Crazy Carl]

yes but it is accessible to 90 percent of the country i believe this is also part of the digital transition that is taking place in Canada by 2012 so these channels will be HD

[WillDekkard]

Can someone say "A-Channel". :rolleyes:

I guess the A-Channel now becomes the CTV2 (The B-Channel) ? . . . ?

Why would Canada have a different time zone?Think of your geography a little.I know some peaple think that Newfounland will be closer to Toronto if Quebec separates from Canada![QUOTE=

Well in the USA we do have a couple of states that voted not to use Daylight savings time. Weird but true.

CTV2 should be TSN (CTV station) OTA... That's what I would add to OTA the TSN channel.

[montanamom]

yes, this is only if you have the right hardware - the news spread around about skyblu HDTV to launch in 2012 is what the future really is in canada for HD content...we'll see if i can get my locals all in HD for free? - CTV will be in that package anyways win win - not that their line-up impresses me much

[THE Official Timelord]

CBC is NOT the same or has any relation to Global or CTV whatsoever -

CTV is privately owned like NBC, ABC, etc in U.S...........

CBC is Canadian government owned which is why you would never see

any American first run shows on its network unless possibly in syndication..........
