Not that it really matters for any Canadian television provider as of yet. I'm sure *C would eventually like to use this in the future.

There is a confidential agreement in place that sells most of F3 Ku transponders to Charlie Ergan.

Shaw Broadcast Services has zero interest in using this satellite. Some non SBS services on F2 will be moving to F3 to open up additional Ku transponders on F2 for SBS.

SBS expansion will be on not yet approved extended Ku band satellites at 111.1 + 107.3
