ATV is not included, which means the viewer
does not have the option to see
the highest-rated (most viewers)
local Maritime Provinces newscast.
The Nova Scotia viewer using this service also
will not receive the local news on CBC or CTV.
These channels are fed from away.
The only local (Nova Scotia) news supplied
by ExpressVu is that shown on ASN.
|
The channels are listed above as ExpressVu's sheet listed them.
This information is as accurate as I can make it, but there is no guarantee that this is a fully correct rendering of what ExpressVu was offering in early August 1998. I have two lists, both provided by ExpressVu at the same time (mailed in the same envelope postmarked 7 August), which mostly agree but sometimes differ.
The Movie Network's TMN 1, TMN 2, TMN 3, and TMN 4 are four separate channels. TMN 1 carries programming 24 hours a day. TMN 2, TMN 3, and TMN 4 play the same movies as the main 24-hour channel (TMN 1) but on different days and times. TMN 2, TMN 3, and TMN 4 begin operating at 12:00 noon, and continue until 3:00am. [Eastern Time Zone times]
Fairchild Television is Canada's only national Chinese language television network.
