    Try 120. It is CBC Toronto. Checking my guide here at home they start at 7:00pm and run through the night. Although with FLOW you never know.

    I have not been able to find it... Keep checking the local stations. The other channels, there seems to be copyright issues...

    That is weird Rob because there is no problem here at all. Since CBC is available there I am surprised that you can't get it. But so it goes - Flow kept locking out stations when I was there.

    It's not weird, but kinda the law. Flow is being looked at closely by the international content providers.

    For years, Flow was charging for many premium stations while not paying the providers for those services. As a result, they are being closely monitored by the regulatory agencies. If Flow has not paid for the rights to any particular program or event, they cannot show it.

    In the end, the customers are the ones who suffer. Flow still charges their same monthly fee regardless of how many shows or events are blocked.

    Also note, as with many online video services, the entire Caribbean is blocked as the content providers don't want to deal with each country individually. And since the majority of the Caribbean is Spanish speaking, some of the channels we do get can be quite interesting, with the shows in English but the descriptions and commercials in Spanish.

    Ha! Flow has changed their Olympics notification to "Watch the 2018 Winter Olympics on SportsMax. Thank you for your continued support"

    SportsMax is a premium pay station, so no Olympics for the masses without paying for it!
