It's a CRTC issue.
WTBS (now WPCH), the local Atlanta station has been approved for carriage in Canada (same as WGN in Chicago), but TBS has not. This wasn't an issue when both channels aired virtually identical schedules, but in 2007, the stations were officially split and branded separately.
As it stands, Canadian cable/satellite providers can only carry the Atlanta local station.
