Learned the other day that Speed Channel is no more on Cogeco cable. It is apparently something to do with CRTC and the lack of Canadian content. I guess the Cogeco contract with speed expired on the 15th of July and CRTC said no to renew. What a major Pi-- off that is. Time to go to Dish or Direct TV.
