Oh, so they did have a content-sharing deal with ESPN?

In addition to having its own version of "SportsCenter" called SportsDesk, didn't TSN also simulcast programs from ESPN as well? (Sunday NFL Countdown, NFL Primetime, NFL Prime Monday, College GameDay, Baseball Tonight and ESPNEWS)

Pardon me for reviving this thread, but from my understanding Bell ExpressVu carried both the Seattle CBS and Detroit ABC, NBC, Fox and PBS stations (KOMO 4, KING 5, KIRO 7, KCTS 9, KCPQ 13, WJBK FOX2, WDIV 4, WXYZ 7, WTVS 56) for West and Central feeds, they used WTOL 11 for CBS-C (since WWJ-TV...

Besides knowing what their channel lineup was like back then, didn't ExpressVu carried WDIV? (which would be NBC-Central), along with WXYZ (ABC-C), WJBK (FOX-C) and WTOL (CBS-C). (WWJ-TV was considered one of the weakest CBS affiliates, their signal improved when they activated a new tower at...

But what about The Pretender's (NBC) sister show Profiler?

Which ones? though La Femme Nikita was Canadian-produced, it aired on USA Network (which was the cable alternative to the broadcast networks back then) in the States.

Well pardon me for reviving this thread, but although a majority of Canadians produce their own programming & content. CBC, CTV and Global would sometimes have programming "cherry-picked" from the six major American networks (including The WB).

So Nagravision 3 wasn't compatible with Videocipher/Digicipher II or standard FTA receivers?

So ExpressVu scrambled its channels back then?

Although it shared satellite space with StarChoice on the Ku side of Anik E2 (A2) in 1998, with Bell ExpressVu moving to a DBS-only sat the following year (Nimiq 1). ExpressVu used Dish Network software whiles StarChoice used 4DTV and DC-II software. But did you need a Bell ExpressVu receiver in...

I know ASN (Atlantic Satellite Network) in Newfoundland carried "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", in spite of the show's violent content. But I'm not sure about the others?

Speaking of the affiliates closest to the Canadian border, I also wanted to point out that WNEM (CBS 5 Flint, MI/Bay City/Saginaw) carried WB and UPN programming as secondary affiliations during the late night hours around that time, before relinquishing the secondary WB affiliation to WEYI (NBC...

Well StarChoice and Bell ExpressVu both carried the superstations (KTLA Los Angeles, WGN Chicago and WPIX New York), especially for those far from the American/U.S. border.

When the Canadian DBS service "StarChoice" (operated by General Instrument) began, they carried the Spokane stations (KREM 2 (CBS)/KXLY 4 (ABC)/KHQ 6 (NBC)/KSPS 7 (PBS)/KAYU 28 (Fox)) for the West Coast feeds of Broadcast Networks, and had the PT24 East stations (WSEE 35 (SeeCBS), WNBC 4 (NBC...

Nope it was 2001 actually, WPME (then UPN) offered WB programming as a secondary affiliation. Those in the Portland, ME area would watch WB programming full-time through Chicago-based superstation WGN-TV and several nearby affiliates (WBGR Bangor, ME).

Nope, CBS was actually the top network in the 2000s (Thanks to the NFL and King of Queens), ABC dominated the ratings for the first half of Y2K (thanks to the success of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?). WB would often be battling UPN for fifth place (They surpassed UPN in the ratings for the...

Judging by this video, the cable-only Rochester WB affiliate (Time Warner Cable channel 26) actually went by the on-screen call letters of WBTW around that point. In some promos it's often referred to as "WBT" (indicating the fictional call letters, similar to WB 100+ (The WeB) which launched in...

So that must be the reason why ExpressVu and StarChoice did trade-ins on all American receivers that were deemed illegal in Canada (including 4DTV (though the DSR-921 model was for Canadian viewers), PrimeStar, DirecTV, Dish Network etc...), by offering them free programming ($100 rebate) for...

What does that mean?

Well as for the over-the-air Canadian broadcasters that carried WB programming (especially those far distant from the American/U.S. border that couldn't receive over-the-air signals of other WB affiliates (KTZZ (Seattle), KLGT (Minneapolis, later KMWB-TV), WDWB (Detroit), W21BF-LP Toledo-based...
