The Sportsnet 360 preview is worth it, if only for the "Stone Cold Steve Austin" straight-shooting 1-on-1 talks with former WWE performers (Undertaker, Brett Hart, The Big Show, Bill Goldberg) that previously were available only on the add-on WWE Network channel.

Yeah - I've enjoyed those " Broken Skull Sessions " episodes too. Sportsnet has also aired an episode with Kane. There are 2 more episodes ( Ric Flair and Mark Henry ) that have already aired on the WWE Network so I'm hoping that they will eventually air on Sportsnet too. 👍

Discovery Science ( August 17th to September 14th )

[bostonbob]

No announcement yet from SHAW but the Food Network is on a National free preview for September. 

[bostonbob]

So it now looks like the National free preview for the Food Network is actually for the month of October. 

[bostonbob]

Some free previews added for October:

Food Network ( October 1st to October 31st )
YTV ( October 1st to October 31st )
Wild TV ( October 10th to November 30th )
E! ( October 13th to November 17th )

Canal Historia ( October 1st to October 31st )
Canal Z ( October 12th to November 8th )

[bostonbob]

Both CBC News Network ( October 15th to November 13th ) and CTV News Channel ( October 22nd to November 30th ) are on Nationwide free previews. SHAW was not mentioned in the press release for the CTV News Channel so I have no idea if either channel is actually available for SHAW customers.

The CTV News Channel free preview is available through participating television service providers across the country, including but not limited to Bell, Bell Aliant, BellMTS, Cogeco, Eastlink, Rogers, SaskTel, and participating members of the CCSA.
