That's why it is being put on Anik F1R - to feed US satellite/cable head ends as well as Canadian.

It's not considered a SRDU channel and not going to be listed on it niether. I am trying to find out for sure through my sales rep. at Cancom, if U.S. cable headends will be able to subscribe or will TFN appear on another satellite used primarly for U.S. cable head ends. If I find out something, I will be more than glad to pass it on.
I thought I remember posting something on this a while back, here is some threads on TFN: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=41425&highlight=The+Fight+Network
