Image
As we've previously announced back in February of last year, BCE announced that about 4,800 jobs were cut at all levels of the company, and that includes 45 Bell Media radio stations being sold to 7 different buyers, as well as the cancellation of most CTV newscasts, primarily the midday & holiday newcasts (except for Toronto) and the weekend newscasts (except for Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto). All 45 stations were sold to new owners, as the CRTC approved those sales between December 2024 and March 2025, so here's a breakdown of the sales and if available, new brandings, by region: British Columbia 21 stations were sold to Vista Radio, the CRTC approved the sale on February 13, 2025, and as of April 14, 2025, GO FM is heard on 101.5 FM Kelowna, 97.1 FM Penticton, and 98.5 FM Fort St. John (all of those were former Move Radio stations), Summit Radio is heard of 800 AM Penticton, 1240 AM Osoyoos, 590 AM Terrace, 98.5 FM Summerland, 106.9 FM Nelson, 95.7 FM Trail, 106.1 FM...

Remembering Family, Family Jr., WildBrainTV and Télémagino

WildBrain's 4 linear TV channels in Canada, Family, Family Jr., WildBrainTV and Télémagino have officially shut down for good as of 6am Eastern Time this morning. The reason that i've mentioned in my special bulletin back in August is because the company failed to negotiate a new carriage agreement with the 2 largest TV providers in Canada, Bell (Fibe, Satellite, TV App, Virgin Plus TV), and Rogers (Digital Cable, Xfinity TV, Shaw Direct plus their former cable systems in Western Canada and Northwestern Ontario). The long-running Family Channel first debuted on September 1st, 1988 at 6am Eastern and Mountain Time with a message from the late Susan Rubes, the channel's 1st president, leading into the channel's first program, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which was an anime series produced by the company's predecessors, Cinar.

Explaining the Big Canadian Specialty Channel Shuffle of 2024-25

Image
With less than 2 weeks until the calendar flips to 2025, there's some big changes to the Canadian specialty channel landscape, and that's because Rogers Sports & Media announced a licensing agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery's factual brands back in June, but some providers won't get the new Rogers channels that have WBD programs, including Bell, and a result, Corus Entertainment and Bell Media announced that some channels that had WBD programs will change names between the end of 2024 and the start of 2025! Here's a breakdown of the changes of these specialty channels that are impacted, by company: Bell Media Discovery Channel becomes USA Network, Investigation Discovery becomes Oxygen, Discovery Science becomes CTV Nature, Discovery Velocity becomes CTV Speed, and Animal Planet becomes CTV Wild, all of which will happen on January 1, 2025. In an unrelated move, MTV Canada will close down for good after December 31, 2024, citing "changing audiences...
