Eastlink cable subscribers will lose a number of popular channels as the telecom provider says it’s been unable to reach a carriage agreement with Corus Entertainment, according to the online Broadcast Dialogue.
Some of the 34 channels affected include HGTV Canada, W Network, and Showcase.
Eastlink began notifying customers this week.
Other channels that will be lost include Food Network, History, Slice, National Geographic, CMT, OWN, Disney Channel, Disney XD, Disney Junior, YTV, Cartoon Network, Treehouse, Movie Time, BC1, Global on Demand, DejaView, DTOUR, Magnolia Network, Crime Investigation, Lifetime, History 2, National Geographic Wild, ABC Spark, Cooking Channel, Adult Swim, Nickelodeon, Boomerang, Series Plus, Historia, Disney La Chaine, and Teletoon French.
Eastlink customers will still receive the same number of channels with similar programming, such as Cottage Life, Discovery Channel, Smithsonian, FX, and Family. The company says subscribers will have the flexibility to customize their channels.
