900 range radio stations no longer available?

[HammerGal]

Why was the 900 range radio stations service discontinued on August 6?  No notice given.  That was part of our package for years.  Will our package rate be reduces?

The removal of radio stations by Bell has been appealed to the CRTC, who have ruled that the station broadcasts must be returned to air until December 1, 2026 while the CRTC hears from both local stations and Bell. You can find the Decision on the CRTC web page as 2026-213.

I am surpised when I saw that they took stations down . Good to have them . There slowly taking there satalite out of service . Taking things off . Well I say they said nothing . Just watch satalite users they just might try to pull a fast one about shutting down there sat service . I say am happy to hear about appeal . I live rural area and sat only way really .

And how they do things they sometimes be sneaky . And I say that I am watching how they are slowly stripping everything from sat and say I’m just waiting till I switch to Shaw there satalite tv is planned to go on till 2030 and longer . Where bell here is going in the cloud . So I say this is not good for people who use radio .

So I hope the radio comes back cause sometimes it better to listen on sat then on streaming devices
