It's old rerun programs on Speed CTV. BRING BACK REAL DISCOVERY SPEED VELOCITY ITS MORE EXCITING THAN CTV SPEED ITS JUNK. IM VERY DISAPOINTED. IM NOT SUBRIBE WITH SPEED CTV

Becoming extremely disappointed in my Bell Fibe TV service… First they get rid of discovery and all the channels associated with it and bring in their own new CTV channels, which only shows reruns and really nothing great now I go looking for Citytv on demand only to find out that it’s no longer available.

Seems the Bell bill keeps going up, but the service is not improving… Maybe it’s time to move on and go back to Rogers or simply get rid of the service and just stream everything. No wonder the rate of streaming has gone up while cable use has gone down.

Anyone else have subscriptions to the Oxygen and USA channels? These were Investigation Discovery channel and The Discovery Channel but I see they are now controlled by Rogers. The prograns on these two channels were much more entertaining than Bell's replacements.

The programs on the "new" Oxygen channel from Bell appears to be a rehash of past series on the old ID channel  rebranded to variety of "Snapped" episodes all of which I have previously seen. I think Bell got the name wrong and should rename this channel to "Snapped". I remember watching "Dateline" on NBC many decades ago. After watching a couple of months of the Snapped channel, I am already snapped. It is about as boring as the CTV comedy channel that shows the Big Bang Theory 24/7; and that channel should be called The Big Bang Channel. And as for the new USA channel, formerly Discovery Channel, I haven't viewed one program on it. Guess it's time for some house cleaning but replacing these channels with Bell's offering is an exercise in futility since the possible replacements are as boring as these channels. How about bringing fiber to my area Bell so I can cancel Xexpressvu? I've had enough of it and need streaming.

The new Bell channels are BORING. I will be cancedlling several of them.

Thank you for your question. The channel you are asking about is no longer available on Bell Fibe and Satellite TV. It is available from other providers at an additional cost.

Good Day.

Bell no longer has the rights to show Discovery, HGTV and the Food Network. Rogers Communications signed an agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery to take over the Canadian rights to its lifestyle brands, including the Discovery Channel and its direct offshoots, as well as HGTV, Food Network, and Magnolia Network This became effective January 1, 2025.

Corus entertainment is the owner for Flavour & the Home channel. These channels were initially branded as HGTV Canada and Food Network until Corus rebranded them as the Home Network and the Flavour Network.  Bell signed an agreement with Corus for these channels.

Bell Media's Discovery channel was rebranded as USA Network Canada.
