I say VIVA or Cosmo will bee be rebranded. I can't se the US channel coming here.

Looking at again stand corrected. I say Cosmos will be rebranded as thats what it was launched with and has more to do with OWN(programing) then VIVA really does.

 

[MCIBUS]

But that educational programing is US or Canadian?

CLT had Canadian educational programing not US before.

The issue of getting the US version vs a rebranding of VIVA,Cosmo,W Network which ever it may end up being is content. Buy having the US version your guaranteed to have 100% programming. By have the "rebrand" you have to add a certain amount of Canadian content to the OWN Canada version, there's where the difference is.

Depending how the US schedule is the Canadian version " might" not be able to follow the exact schedule as the US version.

1) will the be able to fit 100% of all the shows on the Canadian version plus having to add the Canadian content?

2) will the schedule be exactly the same

hour vs hour?

3) what about the Can-Com commitment during that time its immpossible to meet the exact schedule as the US version.

NO!! give me the US version please.

I'm surprised VIVA has 6 million subs? I could see W network having that many as its a basic service, but I thought VIVA was a Digital Channel?

According to an articale in todays Ottawa Sun is states VIVA will shut down on FEB 28 2011 and on March 1 2011 OWN will replace it.
