FAQ:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Why are these changes happening?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • TV programming services continually change.  Recently, NBC Universal and Waner Bros. Discovery sold the rights to multiple channels formerly owned by Corus and Bell Media, to another provider.  This sale of rights is outside of our control, but we wanted to ensure you understand how these changes impact our TV lineup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Am I losing the ability to watch any shows because of these changes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Many of the shows will remain on the new channel launches. Plus, you will also have access to many new programs with hundreds of hours of new and exciting content!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      How will this affect the channels I have selected or theme packages that I have?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • If you have any of the channels noted above, they will be automatically replaced with the newly launched channels.  If you have one of the channels that is being discontinued as part of your bundle selection, or a Pick & Pay option, please contact our Customer Care team to select another channel from our lineup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Are the original channels that I had going away? EG. HGTV\/Food Network<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Corus and Bell Media are replacing the channels noted above with the new options.  Bruce Telecom is actively in negotiations with the content provider to relaunch the previous channel selections. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Will my scheduled TV recordings be impacted?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • When the programming content changes, the TV guide schedule will change.\u00a0 Customers who have recordings scheduled on any of the affected channels may experience no future recordings after December 30, 2024. Recordings that have already happened will remain on your DVR until deleted<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            How do these changes impact my monthly bill?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • This change will not impact your monthly bill.  TV content is continually changing.  Many of the same popular shows that you enjoy will be available on these new channels.  If you would like to make any changes to your channel selections please contact our Customer Care Team.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Contact us!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
