Fibe TV Guide programming is incorrect on channel 1213 & 1606

[Drdtroit]

The last few days, Channel 1213 Vision Tv is playing shows 1/2 hour early and Channel 1606 is playing shows 2 hours early

Good Day & Welcome.

The Bell Fibe TV guide is compiled and managed by Bell Canada itself, specifically its subsidiary Bell Media Inc.

Bell sources its TV guide data from third-party electronic program guide (EPG) providers and distributes it to your receiver. Bell itself does not manually prepare the individual show listings.

Both VisionTV and One: The Body, Mind & Spirit Channel (ONETV) are owned by the Canadian media company ZoomerMedia Limited, which is controlled by Canadian broadcast pioneer Moses Znaimer. 

Channel 1213 Vision TV & ONETV 1606 are stations available on Bell Fibe TV.

The programming & time slot that is scheduled on these channels is not controlled by Bell TV.

I have no explanation to offer up to you. I can only speculate that last minute scheduling & programming changes or pre-emptions were inserted by the network.

Take care.

Hi @Drdtroit 
Thank you for your post and bringing this to our attention.
We are aware and were able to reproduce the issue for both channels and it is currently being investigated. Once we have further information to share we will update the thread.

Hi. Since Dec. 9, I have tried to watch and record Emmerdale on Channel 1606. The show is listed in the guide but does not play or record - another show plays. I have been watching it and recording it successfullly for several months with no problem. There are other shows as well on the same channel that are listed in the guide but do not play - all since Dec. 9. Que pasa Bell?

Just a follow up from my previous post. I have been monitoring Channel 1606 the past week. I have noticed the following: Emmerdale is listed as playing at 7:30pm and 9:30pm ET but does not play or record. Another show is in its place. As well, a few other shows are listed in the guide at various times but do not play. Emmerdale is the #1 rated soap opera in the UK and has a huge following in Canada. As a fan of the show, I am sad that it is no longer televised on Bell (apparently)  Fortunately, all episodes are on You Tube. Dear Bell: will you be bringing it back?

Hey @DaveTRR 

A quick search shows that ONETV made an announcement on December 10th, 2025 that Emmerdale was leaving their broadcast schedule in December 2025.

Thanks. Geez...you would think there would have been some sort of scrolling "warning" about this during the show - especially closer to the end of broadcast date.
