I think FX Canada will show up at some point now that Rogers & Bell appear to be playing nice with each other!? ;)
As for MuchMoreRetro, I don't understand why Bell hasn't add that (as well as MuchLOUD) back into their lineup since they now own these channels?! They have more then enough Cat. B channels so there is no issue regarding not being in compliance with that CRTC ruling. I noticed Shaw is trying to add every channel they own to their lineup (unfortunately they can't because they don't have enough Cat. B channels), why isn't Bell doing the same?! Both of these channels need carriage on Bell TV in order to survive IMO.

Shaw Direct added Food Network HD to their lineup today (ch.268 Classic / 338 Advanced)
As of March 23rd, 2012...Dusk will be the latest casualty of Channel removals on Bell Tv as it will be no longer available!!!
No big loss IMO, this channel sucks ever since it was re-branded as Dusk. Perhaps they are removing this to make room for FX Canada, a more popular channel and one that will appeal to more viewers than ABC Spark.
While this move might have to do with Bell freeing up some space, I suspect that they may also be dropping it because its not that popular and thus expendable. While its a big hit for them, I think Dusk will survive even without Bell TV carriage.
ABC Spark will definitely not be on Shaw Direct. They don't have enough competing category B channels yet.

I think its safe to assume that a lot of channels will not be available on Shaw Direct, particularly HD channels. ;)

Shaw Direct added Space HD to their lineup today (ch.275 Classic / 363 Advanced)
Keep in mind when I posted that, the termination of DUSK was not public knowledge. If DUSK hadn't been terminated, Shaw Direct would not have been able to carry the signal as they do not have enough competing category B channels to satisfy the 3:1 rule.
