Channel feed alternating between CNBC World & CNBC US

[Skye]

The feed is alternating between CNBC World and CNBC US.  This morning it was CNBC World (not Good) eventually it was changed to CNBC US (good).  It has now reverted back to CNBC World (Not Good).

Usually when these things happen it is because the provider changes the feed. Bell just receives the feed and retransmits it. Bell doesn't arbitrarily change channels.

So what was the issue for the last few days? Can you be more specific why the shows I have been watching are no longer permitted so must be switched to alternate feed? When should I expect to see the shows i have been watching regularly. Thanks.

Thanks for your question. When a specific show or content does not sell the rights to their content beyond the original provider or to a Canadian broadcaster, the feed may be switched to another provider channel. In this case the feed is switched from CNBC US to CNBC World. The switch is beyond Bell’s control. This is also similar in televised sports and when US programs are broadcast in Canada at the same time. Bell is required by regulation to switch the signal on the US station to a Canadian station. Your concern would be best directed to CNBC.

Happening again this morning. CNBC world content is not useul for business / trading news.

Thanks for your concern. You can look at the helpful replies with a green check mark for more on this issue. It’’s a CNBC matter and not a Bell issue.

The "Helpful" green check messages are not helpful.  Fortunately I have a CNBC backup for such occasions.

Why is the CNBC World feed on CNBC this morning? It should be the US feed.

So if you order a steak and the waiter brings you a hamburger and says, " it's not our fault, our supplier only sent us hamburger patties", and this happens over and over again, how long before you stop going to that restaurant? Do you see any similarity in this situation?

This is happening again. Please stop doing that during the week.

Happening again today!!

How is this solved?

This is happening now. What's the point of having this channel through Bell instead of signing up directly?

...and telcos wonder why people are cord cutting. This is why.

It's happening again. CNBC world is currently (Dec 2 2025, 09:43 EST) being broadcast on Bell Channel 1509 instead of the advertised program. (Squawk on the Street).

The below isdue is occurring again today - December 2nd, 2025.

The feed is alternating between CNBC World and CNBC US.  CNBC channel 1509 is showing the CNBC World feed instead. Please correct this as soon as possible.

Thank you.

I am receiving CNBC World right now instead of CNBC, which is what I'm paying for. How do I get CNBC back? Not pleased!
