TORONTO, March 7, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) has been added to the Bell ExpresVu satellite television service. On Wednesday, the satellite service announced that it expanded its service by 76 channels, one of which was EWTN, which will now be accessible by Bell ExpressVu's 1.3 million customers.
In addition to its Catholic religious focus, EWTN covers major pro-life events and frequently addresses the life and family issues in its programming. EWTN provided extensive, very positive coverage of the recent March for Life in Washington, D.C. This was available both nationally across the U.S. and internationally. This contrasted sharply with the distortion and very limited coverage the giant march usually receives from most mainstream media.
Ron MacInnes, Director - Communications, Bell ExpressVu told LifeSite that details are still sketchy on when the stations will be up and running. EWTN will probably be added as a specialty service which would put it in a 'theme' package of programmes to be ordered, said MacInnes.
Catholics were vexed in 2001 when Bell Expressvu, one of the only two satellite companies, released a brochure on its lineup of new channels which included the all-homosexual channel PrideVision but failed to include EWTN.
Star Choice, the other satellite company still does not carry EWTN. Among the major cable companies, Rogers currently carries EWTN which Cogeco and Shaw do not.
Cable and satellite companies make decisions to carry stations such as EWTN if they are contacted directly, especially by current customers, requesting the particular service. Requests submitted with bill payments are most highly regarded by the companies.
