Starting tomorrow they are moving the Golf Channel to Digital 144 only (which you have to purchase) and replacing it with American Movie Classics (which we already have on analog cable). They've already moved MSNBC to digital and replaced it with Encore Avenue.
This is absolutely ridiculous. My dad watches Golf Channel religiously but he has no use for digital (and I abhore the thing as I've posted before). Now he'll have to buy digital, get a digital box, suscribe to digital Golf Channel, etc. all for one measly channel. This is bloody ######ed.
I predict Shaw will start moving all the unique/premium channels off analog to digital only and replace analog with nothing but junk or movie recycling channels.

The American Movie Classics are not yet available in Canada. I read somewhere that shaw is the first in Canada to add it to their lineup. If it's at the cost of Golf then so be it. Golf channel is just not popular enough to "protect". Time to wake up and realize that MOST people will be very happy with the change.
