some CTV "Free" preview TV channels
I note that Telus is currently offering several free preview channels, which include CTV Comedy and CTV Drama. Looking at the offerings on both of these channels over a three week period, I am utterly astounded. CTV Comedy is offering ONLY episodes of "The Big Bang Theory", 24/7. CTV Drama is offering ONLY episodes of "Gilmore Girls", 24/7. No other shows are on offer. Who in their right mind wants to watch 48 episodes of one show every 24 hours? Surely this cannot be a teaser to get people to subscribe to these channels? What is Telus, and CTV, even thinking? I was never a fan of Big Bang Theory, as the insidious and horrific laugh track invades every second of the show; I do not want to hear it!
I will not subscribe to any of these channels. Perhaps offer them at other times of the year, when their programming is more varied. Of course, CTV is Bell, and Bell is a competitor of Telus....hmmmm.

Hello rhvic, TELUS does not have any control over the programmation offered by CTV, feel free to reach out to them directly if you do not like the content. Not subscribing to them is also a good way to let them know about your sentiment over their programming.
I agree, I will vote by not subscribing. I am wondering though which marketing genius thought it would be a good idea to showcase these two channels when all they present is one series each. At other times of year, they might have more diverse programming. But these two CTV channels seem to be 'free' only during the period around Christmas when they have very little to offer.
As for contacting CTV directly, it does not seem possible to find an email address for them on their web site. And I do not post on any social media platforms, so that route is out.
