Has anyone heard this or have any additional information regarding CBC (and other Canadian channels) being offered in HD on TWC?

Q: Why doesn't Time Warner carry CBC and therefore HNIC in HD? (Several people asked).

 

Answer: According to a reliable source, TWC's engineering staff is working on carrying the Canadian stations in HD but it probably won't happen until early next year.

 

 

 

This would be great for Olympics & NHL Playoffs

Why does Buffalo get Canadian stations, other than proximity.

 

It's pretty much because of proximity. I live between Philly and Lancaster, PA*, and get a couple duplicate stations (two NBCs and PBSs) due to the proximity. When I lived in Southern MD, the cable carried both the DC and Baltimore stations so we had duplicates for ABC, NBC, CBS, and a couple PBS versions. I will admit a national border probably makes that interesting, but it doesn't surprise me.

 

* Lancaster here is pronounced Lan-cas-TER (although there isn't much emphasis on the 'TER'), unlike the Buffalo pronunciation, LANG-cas-ter.
