OMG,

I hope not. I remember awhile back there was a document that indicated they were eventually moving to Ku? Are they all gone today? Our dish is currently being buffeted by coastal winds and unusable until it is realigned.

Any information would be appreciated,

Only CTV Atlantic and Vancouver feeds remain on AnikF3. The rest went dark a couple of days ago. Have not seen anything on ku band yet, but will keep scanning.

Looks like CTV may be moving from satellite to streaming, their app is available on just about every device you can get, Roku, Firestick, AppleTV, etc.

CTV layoffs happened last month. That would explain it. Keeping fingers crossed that they keep at least one feed up during these tough times. :cry:

Hi fatso,

Thank you for the information. I hope the Canadian government steps in and helps CTV, as they are vital for all canadians, not just the canadians near urban centers. Just my two cents, as an admiring american. Do you know if the Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa and Montreal OTA broadcasts are still up and running in some sort of form?

Viva la Canada,

From what I understand both CTV Atlantic and CTV Vancouver are still up on 119W - Anik F3.

If you have high speed internet you can get CTV channels on a streaming device or on their website - https://www.ctv.ca/on-air

I also read that Bell Media that is CTV's parent company is having financial problems so removing channels from C-Band may be cost cutting.
