Well, at least it beats renaming A-Channel as Much TV.

I notice it's returning to Alberta... technically. It wasn't ever the same without A-Channels in Alberta.

Access isn't rebranding, from what I gathered from that press release... they're just going to be showing "A" programming in primetime...

So we have an A, an E... Do I hear and I, O, U?   Oh wait, The UK has an I, Oprah has an O, we used to have a U, and we "sometimes" have a Y in YTV

Not the first time we've had shared channels here.  Originally Access shared with CBXFT on channel 11 in Edmonton, then they got their own transmitter on channel 9.  (or that might be the other way around...)

I must have missed where A Channel became part of the CTV/Bell conglomerate?  The Edmonton A-Channel became CityTV, and Access/CLT is across the hall in the Bay building downtown.

A channel was bought by CHUM, renamed CITY, and they renamed their "The New VR" and such to A-Channel.  CTV bought CHUM and had to sell CITY.  They kept the A-Channels.

Allow me to simplify this through the method of song...

The A Channel bone is connected to the Bell GlobeMedia Bone, The Bell Globe Media bone is connected to the "chum" bone the chum bone is connected to the CITY TV bone the City TV bone is connected to the Rogers bone...

Thanx Chunky for clarifying that... yeah, and who gets 'boned' in the end?
