BTW, here at Shaw we used to get TBS Superstation, then a while ago it switched to WTBS. AFAIK, programming was almost identical.

There schedule is getting more and more different. Before the only difference was that WTBS had a daytime episode of Friends while national TBS did not. Also, WTBS shows Headline News at 6am while TBS shows Cosby Show. In the last couple of months, we are seeing more differences between the two channels.

An email that Star Choice replied regarding TBS....
Thank you for taking the time to contact us.
We appear to be providing the TBS feed and not the WTBS one. We have not heard of this re-branding of WTBS until now which leads us to believe that we will not undergo this change. If this is to happen and we do have the WTBS feed, we will be informing our customers via the website, channel 299, and on your monthly statements.
Should you have any further question or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Please also include all previous emails with your replies.
Thank you for choosing Star Choice.

TBS and WTBS does vary in programming some.
Rates are not different between programming fees for TBS and WTBS, they are the same. In Atlanta they can get both.
Peachtree will also air 45 Atlanta Braves games as well.
Here is a link out of Atlanta concerning this:
WTBS to become Peachtree TV
TBS Super station is also ending their run of the Braves games at the end of the '07 season. So to continue to watch the Braves, best bet will be Peachtree TV. Link: http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/news/a...=.jsp&c_id=atl

I would much prefer to have TBS because they share the first two rounds of the MLB playoffs with FOX. I really don't want to watch the playoffs on The Score.

The Score? Rogers Sportsnet has MLB rights in Canada.
While ideally I'd like both :-), I would also prefer the national TBS as, more importantly than the post-season games which we'd get one way or another anyways, they will also have a Sunday afternoon game of the week throughout the regular season, which I doubt a Canadian broadcaster would pick up (seeing how Rogers Sportsnet already carries the Sunday night ESPN game, and usually has Jays games in the afternoon).
The national TBS is also likely to have an HD channel available for carriage, while the local station may not.

Another week to find out what we get. I looked at zap2it.com listings and it shows the schedule for Peachtree TV in the WTBS spot. I wonder if that means that Peachtree is coming to Canada and we lose another national US channel.

I personally think we will end up with the national TBS at some point, although that may not happen come Oct 1st.
