GREAT NEWS, Passions has been saved in Canada for sure, I talked with Allarco Entertainment this afternnon to inquire about them airing Passions and they confirmed the e-mail that was sent to me that they will indeed be airing it. Don't worry either about missed episodes because if you subcribe right away in October you will be able to watch all of the missed episodes as a catch up for them, they told me this this afternoon. Also, to correct a mistake I made, you do NOT need a High Definition TV, that is only for some of their channels. Passions will be shown on one of their Premium stations that is not High Definition. You no longer need to mourn the loss of your favourite show. WE DID IT, YAY.
I contacted Rogers Television lately to inquire about SoapNet because I heard that Direct Tv was picking it up. They sent me an intersting e-mail that I would like to share:
Dear Jonathan,
SoapNet is not licensed for carriage in Canada. However, the CDN rights
for Passions have been purchase by Allarco, a new Pay TV operator in
Canada. This new service is going to be launching in October 2007.
Regards,
Nancy Cottenden
Corporate Communications
From what I understand this new Premium service will bring Passions to Canadian viewers but not until October. You will need to subcribe to it, but it won't be available until October

I was hoping it would be free so I could just go to Windsor and watch PSNS there and come back to Detroit, lol. But after all, if it wasn't free in the US, it probably wouldn't be free in Canada either, which sucks.
Either way, I'm still suspicious because I haven't heard anything, and this person posted this at many other websites. I'll probably end up calling the number he left at other websites though, lol. I'm just not sure if this is a Canadian number or a US number. Ok, I just called it, so it must be a US number...
If this is a Canadian company, why does it have a US number? Or can the US call Canada without international codes and such? Anyhoo, the number provided is 780-430-2828 if anyone wants to call it. I'll call it in the morning.

Here's what Soapcentral has wriiten on their web page: "Canadian fans will also get a repreive. A startup premium content television provider has acquired the rights to broadcast Passions in Canada. Allarco Entertainment, a pay television service, will begin broadcasting Passions later this year. " Here's the link www.soapcentral.com/ps/news/2007/0430-directv.phpBy the way I'm just an averege citizen of Canada that discovered this. |

Here's what someone by the name of TVviewer has wriiten about this
"They are working non stop to get everything ready for October. Everyone at Allarco is stressed but they are excited. They have still not confirmed any deals with anyone yet, but they have been talking with Bell, StarChoice, and Rogers. the number of HD channels will be decided after the deals are confirmed (along with schedules & channel names)
So we could have up to 3 or 4 HD channels. But atleast one of the 6 will be HD, oh and atleast 1 will be non-HD, and that's the channel where they will air Passions.
Believe it or not, they are very excited about Passions as they think it will give them alot of buzz. I know Global has got almost 400 e-mails from Passions fans. that's quite alot considering how it's Canada and it's a daytime soap.
Oh and they have a promo set up to air later on Global durning Passions informing viewers about the switch
It has Tabitha (the 300 year old witch on Passions) saying "We're Back" with a voice over saying "Passions lives on.... This October catch All New Exclusive episodes on a brand new channel more info at AllarcoEntertainment.com" the promos are set to air in September for the last few Passions episodes airing on Global."
