Sasktel Max TV New Channels Discussion - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

New Channels always generate a lot of discussion so this thread is for discussing new channels

You're welcome to speculate and discuss new channels coming to Sasktel 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.
