This thread will discuss the schedule updates for the Bell Media Specialty Channels for the 2018-19 broadcast year. Here is an alphabetical list of Bell Media Specialty Channels, including French channels:

Animal Planet, BNN Bloomberg, Bravo, Canal D, Canal Vie, Cinépop, Comedy, CP24, CTV News, CTV News Channel, Discovery, Discovery Science, Discovery Velocity, E!, ESPN Classic, Gusto, Investigation, Investigation Discovery, MTV, Much, RDS, RDS INFO, RDS2, Space, Super Écran, TSN, VRAK, Z

I post schedule updates, series premieres and specials based on press releases as well as series renewals and cancellations as they are announced. I don't usually post on-going episode information, repeats, program descriptions or "PR-speak," so if you want more info, you can click on the associated link in the post. I don't post sports news since that is best discussed in the sports forum.

EDIT: I created a separate thread for Crave Schedules Including HBO, Starz, Showtime and Movies, which will contain future posts for HBO, the former The Movie Network and TMN Encore.

"Just a reminder that Bell Media is distributing the HBO, Showtime, Starz and movie highlights as part of the Crave press release around the end of each month as part of the "all new Crave." I decided to post this link to the January highlights until people get used to the idea."

Dr. Dave is it okay to talk about shows in that thread? I saw your Crave info there but then came here to talk about Doctor Who b'cuz I thought that thread was only talking about Crave itself. But if you are not going to post schedules here anymore then can we talk about shows in the other thread? Sorry not trying to make more work for you! Post wherever is good for you, I appreciate it! You always give us lots of good info!

@gbamber The link to the summary in the Crave thread is in post 105 of this thread. Whenever I post a press release summary, I try to post the link to the original in case people want to read more.

I post the schedules for these shows in the Crave thread because Bell Media now distributes them as part of the "new Crave." They are part of that press release, identified by separate subheadings.

@Bayguy It's OK to talk about the premium channel shows (Crave 1-4 and HBO) in either thread. I usually post general news about the shows in this thread since most people still subscribe through their TV provider. I will continue to post schedules and news for other Bell Media specialty channels like Space in this thread.

I confirmed that Space will run a marathon of Doctor Who season 11 starting at 9 AM ET on Jan. 1 preceding the New Year special "Resolution" 8:00 - 9:30 PM ET. The special will be repeated twice in the evening/overnight.

I was just about to post the TBS Angie Tribeca press release. Comedy Network is showing the first 11 seasons of Big Bang until Jan. 6, and they haven't scheduled Angie Tribeca in the next 2 weeks. The Angie Tribeca show page has said season 4 coming soon since the fall, so they do plan to show the series.
