"Game Show Channel" in Canada?

<< < (2/2)

That's really really bizarre about the gilmour address... I have a friend who lives on Gilmour... and that would be right down the street from her.

I would think it's got to be close to Bank Street (that's the main north-south street in town).

Cheers,

Ryan :)

There were over 260 digital category 2 channels approved by the CRTC at the time the Gameshow network was approved.  Only a fraction of them received enough financing to get on the air.    If someone is willing to finance this thing I'm sure the license holders could be convinced to joint partnership with somebody.   Canadian digital channels are a very tough business, several have already gone off the air, and one, the Green Channel has shown nothing but a green screen (literally) for about 3 months.

 How did they get a green screen to qualify as Canadian Content?  :-p

 Two words: Ross Rebagliati. After him, pretty much anything green (and sticky, and resiny, and smokable) is honorarily Canadian. ;)

Some reruns of Pitfall and Definition would be nice to see...they could even run LMaD '80, which was taped in Vancouver.
