    The satellites are not actually over the US or Canada. so there is no need to allow use of Canadian airspace.

    I agree completely. Maybe toss in some European English channels, too.

    All Canadian & most International local tv networks have programming originating from the USA one way or another, and all have exclusive rights for them to their domain, this is just a waste of bandwidth and discussion of Dish or Directv operating in Canada or anywhere else in the world but the USA and territory.

    Correct. Canadian channels buy Canadian rights to programming. English Canada is 1/11th the size of the US. So everything else being equal, these would pay 1/11th the price. If the content is already sold to a US network, or not, it cannot be shown in the USA without paying for it.

    There is a lot of stuff, though, that only originates in Canada, and is not shown in the US.

    Hey, programmers, here is an idea: Start a "Canada" channel and start licencing Canadian content.

    I have been asking Dish, Directv, Bell TV, the CBC, and CTV for YEARS about putting Canadian channels on the satellite systems here in the states that they can. I've never gotten a good answer from any of them. I don't understand why the cable, satellite, and telco companies don't see the potential revenue from them for us Canadians that live here in the states.

    You must live near the border because that's the only way I know you get the local CBC & CTV feeds of of cable.

    I'm not sure what you consider close. I'm 100 miles away. I didn't have CTV on cable, but I had a CBC channel.
