Bell adds two HD locals (Vancouver)

[Vulcan]

Just noticed on my Bell program guide that GLBHW channel 807 and CBCHW channel 804 are up and running. Nice to see I'll be able to watch CBCHD programs in my own time zone now and I hope Global is more than a simsub station. Oh yeah, these are out of Vancouver.

The only downside is that the more they add HD stations the less bandwidth to go around.

So, not really "local" then. Or at least not for most of the board.

Thanks Ken, I was just trying to distinguish the new stations from specialty channels. At least they are uh ,localer and HD is spreading to new communities and I believe CBC Calgary is up next although it will probably only be available OTA, as CBC Vancouver has been for the last couple of years.

Thanks for the tip, I'll add these to my favorites tonight.
