    Isn't the channel just like CP24.

    I think I am over CITY-TV as a host for a bulletin board.

    From what I've heard, it should have the same format as CP24. Since it was a CHUM property, I guess they had to find a way to compete against it, somehow.

    Also, in terms of the bulletin board, if only! They did have a CityLine forum for a bit when Rogers took over, but it was taken off when the people started to complain about Tracy!

    I'll admit, I do miss POG and her...'posts'! *laugh*

    But the boards? Um, after the last incarnation, I don't think I even want to know about another one if Rogers decided on it.

    Yeah, they had to get rid of them, too. Sad, really, but them's the brakes, I guess.

    Really? Wow, I didn't know that. I'm a little surprised, actually. I didn't think that she would be interested.

    That would be your answer, Spermy. Analog cable is suppose to be shut down by Aug. 31 of this year.

    August 31st 2011: Deadline for DTV and HDTV in Canada - Digital Forum

    With that in mind, Rogers is planning on launching the channel in the fall of this year.
