Talk:List of Canadian television channels
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And shouldn't SCN, since it doesn't broadcast over-the-air and only avaiable through cable be put into the specialty channels category like ASN.
Shouldn't APTN be added into the over-the-air category because it does transmit over-the-air in the territories?
These are networks, not channels. Channel 2 is a channel. CITY is a channel. CBC is a network. -- Zoe
CITY is a callsign; it occupies channel 57 -- Bill 19:30, 23 Oct 2003 (UTC)
CITY is a channel, but CityTV is a network consisting of CityTV in Toronto (CITY) and CityTV in Vancouver (CKVU). And the CityTV brand will become even larger on Aug. 2, 2005 when the A-Channel stations in Alberta and Manitboa become CityTV's, which will bring the CityTV network brand to 5 stations instead of 2.
Does Edge TV still exist? I remember a few months ago it was removed from the digital network, but I don't remember if it ceased to exist entirely or was just taken off Rogers Cable. Adam Bishop 20:38, 20 Aug 2003 (UTC)
If I understand what I was told by my cable company recently, then the currently separate lists of specialty and digital cable television station lists here need to be merged as they are not completely separate but can be one or the other or both. SD6-Agent 01:09, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
List of Quebec television channels should be merged into this article. WhisperToMe 04:26, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Splitting up this page
This page has become too long and difficult to maintain. I am proposing that we separate this page into a few smaller pages:
- List of Canadian over-the-air and educational channels
- List of Canadian specialty channels
- List of Canadian digital specialty channels
I think that this would make the page(s) easier to maintain and easier to refer to, since there wouldn't be nearly as many channels all on one page. It would also help end the debate over whether Knowledge Network or SCN are networks or specialty channels, since they would be placed into the first page as educational stations.
All that this page would have would be links to these three pages (plus List of foreign television channels available in Canada) and maybe some high-level information about how Canadian television stations/networks system are licensed.
Any opinions? I'll give everyone a few days before I go ahead with this. Veryhip 20:29, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
- I have to disagree that this page has gotten to long to maintain. This page is no longer then any other page on Wikipedia. The page clearly states all the television channels and networks listed in Canada and it should stay this way, it would be too difficult to maintain 3 or 4 different pages when all the content can be listed on this one page. I admit that this page could be cleaned up a bit but splitting them into 3 or 4 different pages is not necessary.
And personally, the debate over wheater The Knowledge Network and SCN are networks or not is simple, The Knowledge Network operates over-the-air so its a television station but SCN doesn't operate over-the-air and only on cable so its a regional speciailty channel just like ASN is. User:Cdn_boi
[edit] Edit Tamil TV
Could someone find info on Tamil TV and create an article for it, it just looks so lonely down there being the only other channel that doesn't have an article written on it, its just so sad :(
[edit] Tele-Mag
I noticed that Tele-Mag has not been added to the list of television channels. I'm not sure what Tele-Mag is actually, if its a analogue channel or if its a cable channel in Quebec. Its website is www.tele-mag.tv for information on it. I personally don't speak french so I don't know what to classify it as a ota channel or cable channel.
[edit] HD References in the Articles
Besides CTV and the speciality channels, nowhere in the ota channels that have HD channels does it mention them in the articles. Global, CBC, SRC, OMNI.1, OMNI.2, Citytv, TQS, Sun TV all have HD channels but nowhere in the srticles does it mention this. This should be mentioned in the articles!!
[edit] Disappearing Pictures
Has anyone been noticing that pictures in serveral articles have been disappearing from the articles, ie: CTV HD logo from CTV article, Encore Avenue logo from Movie Cental article, MHD logo from The Movie Network article. And when you edit the article, the file name is still listed there but there picture doesn't appear in the article. Are the pictures being deleted from Wikipedia or is there a glitch in the Wikipedia system? Maybe someone should look into it? Musimax
