This does not benefit everyone so, what is the good news. 20 couties out of 100 and they are probably the larger ones. And not available to subscribers of Dish or Direct.

@anastasia: CBC does not own or operate DirecTV. If they are like TWC or Dish, there are channels like TCM (turner classic movies) and the like that will have the same content.

When does this start? Since I only use over-the-air, this is good news for me (I get enough weather channels already).

So what counties will this be in? Why not all 100?
