I was just watching golf channel and noticed they have a little bar running saying that as of September 1st, the golf channel will be moving to shaw hd on channel 144 and that it will be replaced on channel 47 by some American movie classic channel. Despite the fact they just put in an older movie channel on channel 34 what a **** off this is, golf channel was one of the channels I liked watching.
It's not moving to Shaw HD, just to another tier. I suppose the people who don't have digital won't be able to get it anymore, though. I heard Rogers is doing the same out East (from my irate father).
My guess is that Shaw will do this bit by bit for a lot of specific channels, forcing people to go digital.
