johanson Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 For those of you who have the classic channel listings on your Shaw Direct satellite receivers, you get CNN on channel 95. Well guess what popped up for the first time on Channel 94? It appears to be the Canadian equivalent CNN on CTV. It is called CTV NEWS.ca What I wrote about this channel is what it appears to be to me after a couple of hours of watching. If I am wrong please correct me. All I know is that in the past I didn't have anything on channel 94. It was a blank channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arroyos Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Pete, For accuracy, Channel 094 is the CTV News Network and 096 is the CBC New Networks. These are national news services, as opposed to the local CBC and CTV channels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted October 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Thanks for the correction. I had only discovered channel 94 and I knew about 95, CNN. I hadn't yet noticed that now we have the CBC national news network on channel 96 As a kid living in the states south of Vancouver, BC we always watched CBUT (CBC) channel two and I greatly appreciated Peter Mansbridge on The National. I was sad when he retired after 30 years with CBC on July 1, 2017. (I had to ask Mr. Google when Peter retired) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Until a couple of weeks ago, they were both on standard def channels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
