Paramount Channel Leaving
Now Paramount channel is being removed… what are we getting as a replacement? The last few channels that have been removed have not resulted in a suitable replacement, or a reduction of my monthly bi...
Paramount Network Canada is being shut down by the content provider - it is not something that TELUS has chosen to do; it will no longer be available to Canadians from any telco. I can only speculate as to why - but Rocky3's sentiment is probably representative - since the launch of Paramount+, a lot of programming has been moved over there.
At the risk of getting overly complicated - TELUS has hundreds of channels in dozens of theme packs...so anytime a provider ceases operations or turns down a channel, TELUS's choices would be to remove the channel from the theme pack, take a channel from a different theme pack (which just moves the problem around) or completely reshuffle all theme packs, which is pretty disruptive to everyone.
If you no longer see value in the Prime Time theme pack, you are free to swap theme packs every 30 days, or downgrade your combo to one without Prime Time. You can also subscribe to the other channels within Prime Time a la carte if there are only 1 or 2 that you care about.
quick search did not find. Not that I care a lot since Yellowstone was cancelled, but where did you hear this?
