This is a weird one.
On Sunday afternoons, CNBC runs "DLIfe: Your Diabetes Life"
For the past several weeks, the station bug is showing CNCB WORLD as opposed to the stock CNBC and just on Sunday afternoons.

I reported it to my local cableco.

What I found strange was that Shaw, and not surprisingly Starchoice had the same problem, so I checked ExpressVu and same thing there as well.
Now whats weird is on Dishnetwork, the program was proper.

Could all the Canadian providers be using the same C-band backhaul signal and is this programming somehow not available in Canada?

I'll need to check the IPG info, but the Prevue guide on cable shows DLIfe.
As does the DN CNBC feed.
I didn't notice if Starchoice and Bev did or not.

Some CNBC programs are blacked out in Canada and is usually replaced with CNBC World programming. It's been like that for quite a few years.

I noticed this changed a month or 2 ago. CNBC World seems to be subbed for CNBC all weekend in Canada. Not sure what time it starts, maybe Friday night. Gemstar and Tribune guides still show the U.S. info.
