Discovery channels shows gone
What the heck?? All Discovery channels are now changed and many shows that we watch are no longer available. Why didn’t Telus announce this prior to us losing the channels? Will we be compensated sin...
It looks like that's more of a Rogers concern TBH - they appear to be being anticompetitive by not distributing it anywhere but Rogers. It's not available on any third party provider, including ones that specifically indicated they were trying to obtain access: The great Canadian specialty TV shuffle begins, but it’s not going well for you | **bleep**stein
They did announced it on TV saying that it was provider initiated shut down. You can find more info if you Google it. The official line is:
The Discovery Channel is not shutting down, but it is rebranding as the USA Network on January 1, 2025. This is part of a realignment of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) networks in Canada, which also includes:
- Oxygen: Replacing ID, which will focus on true crime
- CTV Wild: Replacing Animal Planet
- CTV Nature: Replacing Discovery Science
- CTV Speed Channel: Replacing Discovery Velocity
