Nice job of promoting that one Bell ;-(

I stumbled on it late Sunday night when scrolling through the guide.
Called this morning to get some info the first 3 people that I talked didn't know that
the channel was on preview. The 4th one told me that her department had received an email about the promotion on friday. When I suggested that email should be sent to customers she said "wow that's a really great idea".

Anyone know who runs bell's marketing department ?
I'm not sure I'm understanding that. IPL 20/20 has been on SportsnetOne since Friday. It will be shared between Sportsnet and PPV till the end of the tournament. Sportsnet has been plugging it away like crazy. In fact there's a game on tomorrow at 6.30 AM. Plus the deal was announced only 2 or 3 days before the start of the tournament so hardly time for Bell to "announce" a free preview.

The free preview was on the ppv channel.
Not everyone subscribes to sportsnetOne.
The lack of information provided to the sales reps is frightening.

Good show, Bell.

Can't get 605 or 606 yet, though. But I doubt I'd watch them anyway.

The "June 30th 2012" on the guide info does appear to be an error, as earlier and later broadcasts' data just say June 30th. Channel 271 continues to say May 2012 is the end date.

I was kinda thinking that Bell can't figure out which package to put it in since there's no SD feed to go into Family 1 or Family 2 and no separate theme pack for HD family programming.
