NOS never even had its own local community service channels.

Good to see Paramount Channel returning to the UK, which existed between 1995-1997 before becoming Paramount Comedy (now Comedy Central). It seems that the media has completely forgotten this. Paramount Channel used to timeshare with Nickelodeon UK.

It's one of those rare channels that returns, like TLC or Sky 2.

I have the reason why Rogers TV is shutting down?

Please note that the Toronto Rogers tv community channel has been discontinued
As of September 26th, the Rogers tv community channel serving Toronto will no longer be available. Viewers in the GTA are well-served by a wide range of diverse local media options. Rogers has therefore reallocated funding and resources from Toronto to small and medium-sized Canadian communities otherwise underserved by local broadcast television services.

City Council Coverage
Toronto City Council coverage is now available on the City of Toronto's YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfe2rzOnQzgEDvNzRRPUJsA

Mississauga Steelheads OHL Games
Rogers Cable is providing free access to select home and away Mississauga Steelheads games to all Rogers digital cable subscribers on channel 368.

Starting October 3rd, Rogers cable channel 10 will become a free preview channel showcasing Canadian specialty services. The free previews will rotate every 2 to 4 weeks, giving viewers an opportunity to discover premium content from a range of Canadian broadcasters.

@animegame: Ah! Lotus Macau! Though it's not necessarily a film channel, it seems to air quite a lot of films most of the time for all that I am aware of. I've also seen it available on cable providers in SEA (and even Cambodia).

Time to edit the channel list then

EDIT: By the way, I've checked Rupavahini now and they changed their clock. The numerals seem to be... off.

Comwave recently launched their TV service on Monday.

Latest kids channel rankings.

When CN isn't even on the list... you know that people like to watch just one thing 24/7

 

[Checkerboard]

Its a shame because CN used to be extremely popular in India between 1997-2004.

 

[RandomMe]

As time progressed, Indian tastes in cartoons changed quite a lot, actually.

CMT Canada is premiering Blackish this Tuesday. City is still airing reruns. And ABC Spark is constantly airing a marathon mostly Season 2 episodes this Thanksgiving Day in Canada. An 18 hour spam THAT IS!

I'm surprised Blackish got picked up by Corus at all!

 

[Ryan]

Yesterday I received a call from Corus about that issue for the past months, they said they seem to be fine in the systems, I think because the aspect ratio for their SD content is changed to 720x486 (Which doesn't even fit for all of the providers and TVs).

Look at the Technical Specifications page:

Rupavahini's new clock (taken from their official stream which recently added watermarks):

 

[animegamer]

I don’t watch the channel, so what’s the difference?

 

[RandomMe]

Basically the clock changed twice this year already. Up until the middle of the year it was like this still:

Then it changed to the clock that Channel Eye/Nethra TV used for years (I'm putting a picture from Eye to give you an idea):

Channel Eye/Nethra TV used to have a live stream on their site until months ago. Both pictures were taken in 2014 and 2015.

The "new" clock is just distorted, especially when the numeral 7 comes around and makes it feel distorted.

This wasn't the case in the 90s:

Rupavahini should change the logo and be converted to HD, Most of the countries (except South Sudan, Sri Lanka, Mauritania, etc.) are in HD and they are going to broadcast in 4K (UHD) and 8K in the future.

 

[RandomMe]

One time (in 2015 IIRC), Rupavahini's Facebook page posted something which had a "Full HD 1080p" icon as an image and said "coming soon". False promises. They're still technologically behind.

Another local channel, Carlton Sports Network (which has airing less sports than before) announced that they would become the "first HD channel in Sri Lanka": Another false promise.

I think they'll not launch it until 2040 or 2060, when all the channels will broadcast in 4K and 8K.

Neox in Spain is now airing Shin-Chan even outside of its natural habitat, the morning Neox Kidz block, at 05:30. But they don't spam it a lot, the channel mainly airs My Name is Earl and The Big Bang Theory.

 

[animegamer]

Do you guys notice that the kids networks in India all have their own channel (Sonic, Pogo and Hungama)? Yet they waste them on spamming of popular shows.
