- As I posted some time ago, TVN and CVS have combined marketing effort.
- TVN will be available for cable systems PPV starting in January
- (previously, they had only been marketed to the TVRO market). In
- exchange, some of the TVN channels are going to be taken over by CVS (I
- don't recall now which ones, for example, I'm not sure about Action PPV).
-
- In addition, F4 is going away (being returned to Canada?), so all those
- channels (primarily SportsChannels and PPV stuff) will be finding new
- homes. CVS has found its new home on T3 is all.
