New Channels always generate a lot of discussion so this thread is for discussing new channels in 2011.
You're welcome to speculate and discuss new channels coming to Sasktel in 2011 but PLEASE unless it's been confirmed by an official press release, be clear about what is speculation and what is fact.
A post saying "a CSR said it was coming" is NOT official, however, it does put it in the "highly" likely category.
If its posted on the CRTC site that its been approved by the CRTC but Sasktel has not said anything, I would consider that in the "not very likely at this time" category.
This morning I made contact with a sasktel person in the support centre, she told me that Sasktel will be offering Global HD in the near future (within the next 2 months) Just thought you may want to know.
