Other updates:

Audience Network
Hit the Road is streaming on CraveTV

Paramount Network
The Shannara Chronicles has not been picked up for a third season. The second season aired this past fall on Spike, months before it was rebranded to Paramount. The decision was announced within days following the rebrand. It is in the process of being shopped around.

Wondering is SuperChannel's deal to show American Gods this spring is still on since that Bell deal with them.

Not sure where this came from but Cleverman, a show that was on Sundance, in the US, in 2016 is starting on APTN and Travel+Escape tomorrow and this week. Simulcast on both channels. Weird show description and weird combination of channel showing it. It has Aboriginal people in it, so yes APTN, but sharing it with T+E...

[CDN Viewer]

Thanks for the update.

Actually, this show fits perfectly on Travel + Escape due to the nature of the series- it has elements of Sci-fi and the supernatural, which is the type of programming T+E now airs. This channel has morphed from a travel oriented service to one that mainly focuses on the supernatural, including many shows about ghosts/spirits and hauntings. Also, they currently air the following series which all fall into the supernatural genre- Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Charmed & Supernatural.

That's true. T + E recently had exclusive rights in Canada to other similarly themed series including South of Hell and Wolf Creek.

If anything, DTOUR has become more of a travel oriented service, only because much of the programming on their schedule originates from Travel Channel in the U.S.

Of course, Corus has done nothing to promote the channel alongside their other brands like Food Network, Showcase, HGTV and History. Simply because DTOUR does not fit among the core audiences of families, children and women that Corus keep pushing in their press releases. DTOUR was originally Prime upon its launch, intended for older audiences, just like what Zoomer Media is today with their brands including Vision and One. They tried to change that with their rebrand to TVtropolis (in the same way like we see today with Pop in the U.S.) before changing to DTOUR.

But I digress...as this is going off topic from the thread.

That is correct, however some shows are not airing on the Canadian feed of the channel, for whatever reason. The miniseries Waco, which recently aired, was not available on Paramount Network in Canada.

OWN
New series Love Is airs on Bravo in Canada. Bravo also airing Queen Sugar and W Network airs Greenleaf.

Not one series airs on OWN Canada- what is the point of this channel?! I looked through the schedule (not much else on the website) and it doesn't appear to air much from OWN in the USA. Why bother paying a license fee for the name if you are not going to air much of the programming from the parent channel?!

Looks like Corus is redirecting viewers to one of their flagship channels, like W or Showcase, for every first run scripted shows. CMT's Nashville (series finale for July 26), some CW shows (Charmed, All American, Crazy Ex on W, Supergirl + Legacies on Showcase), the OWN scripted shows Bell didn't want, all new Nickelodeon shows premieres on YTV, Lifetime reality shows on Slice?... Eventually, Corus announced a few years ago they'll be shutting down some channels, already started with Sundance last march which I guess licence expires, selling back Séries+ & Historia to Bell... what's next ?
