"Sun News fan, Susannah Sears, has created her own Facebook group for people who're upset they can't watch Sun News through Bell."
"Luc Lavoie, head of development for SUN News, is encouraging Bell satellite TV customers to give Bell a piece of their mind."
I found the Facebook page to which the article refers and read a posting reportedly from Sun News itself. The new network posted the following:
"We have asked them [Bell] to suspend broadcasting the [Sun News Network] signal."
It was the Sun Network itself that cut the feed! I tried to post a link to the online version of The Free Press story but could not find the story. I did fine a version of the article carried by the Toronto Sun. The Toronto version I found admits in the last paragraph that "Quebecor actively shut down the channel."
After finding the article, I added a comment and read a number of the others. Here is a sampling:

"Read any other media outlet and you'll soon learn Sun removed the service from Bell because Sun wanted more money for the signal. This "news" article is a lie brought to you by a company with a vested interest in the outcome. Can you say "conflict of interest"?
This is an example of a news organization writing news to serve the corporate parent's purposes.
Hey Sun (TV, online, in paper, etc.): you only get one reputation. And it's "news stories" like these that make it obvious where your rep is headed."

"I'm happy to have a right-leaning network on the air, but from what I've seen so far, they take the same approach to the facts as FOX down south - that is, omit details, twist, distort until all that remains is spin, conjecture and implication. From what I've seen, the right has no other way to support their arguments; as soon as you look for evidence to support their positions, everything falls apart."
Thank you. I read your post above and this is the first article/post I have read which tells the truth. Everyone is blaming Bell TV BUT SUN TV cancelled the feed themselves. I wonder what Bell thinks of all the business they have lost and I wonder if the creators of this Facebook page actually realize the truth and that their blame is misplaced. It should be directed at SUN and not Bell Media.
