The CRTC approves 6 new HD Channels in Canada
On February 2nd, the CRTC approved 6 new HD licenses to High Fidelity HDTV Inc. High Fidelity HDTV already operates Oasis HD, Rush HD, Equator HD, and Treasure HD in Canada.
The new licenses are approved for Eureka HD, a science and technology channel; Crafts and Hobbies HD, hobbies and crafts; Aqua HD, life in and around water; Centre Stage HD, dedicated to the art and culture surrounding music, concerts, etc. There are two duds in the line up of six, Seniors HD, and Womens Sports HD.
It will likely be months, to years before we see these channels, for now, the licenses are there, and that paves the way for High Fidelity to start shopping these channels around to the cable and satellite providers in Canada. I can’t say that I am excited about any of these channels, and I think it will be very unlikely that we will see any of these channels, but you never know.
