James Rehor is a TV fan, he’s just not a fan of his monthly bill. So count him as one of the Canadians anxiously awaiting regulatory changes promising more choice in cable packages and the prospect of a cheaper bill.
Beginning March 1, 2016, all Canadian TV providers will have to offer a basic package of channels for no more than $25 a month and give consumers the option of ordering individual channels a la carte or in small bundles. By December, TV providers must offer both a la carte ordering and small channel bundles.
Rehor says he’d love to whittle down the 120-odd channels he gets from Cogeco to the dozen or so he actually watches — and he’d start by ditching the innumerable foreign-language stations bundled into his package.
