Finally, some more quality programming come to Canada

Good news for Canadian fans of HBO, the American network Canadians most often say they would like to see offered in Canada.

Corus and Astral Media announced today that they will launch HBO Canada in October. The channel, free to subscribers of Movie Central in Western Canada and The Movie Network in Eastern Canada, will carry HBO shows not already carried by the aforementioned networks. Because the channel is a Canadian incarnation, Canadian content is a requirement.

Thanks to Ernest for the tip.
