A Special Announcement

Image
After 1 year and over 125 editions, I decided to stop publishing the weekly top program list. The reason why? Because the TV listings section on the Gracenote website was apparently shut down last Wednesday. I usually use the Gracenote site for the upcoming programs airing on linear TV the following week, but unfortunately, the website was shut down like I said, last Wednesday, following the main source Zap2it took their listings offline in favour of the schedule page of the American pay-TV network NewsNation. Don't worry, I'll still be publishing the special bulletins when there's something important in worldwide media. And starting this fall, I'll be starting off a new weekly series called "What Happened This Week In Worldwide Media", published every Sunday morning.

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...

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...
