Rogers to launch FX Canada
As of November 1/11 it would appear.
About DAMN time these great programs became legally/readily available in Canada!
I’m personally thrilled to FINALLY be able to watch some of my favourite shows (especially Louie) in a more timely and accessible way in the near future. Depending on whether they air older episodes, I might finally get into watching more (or any) episodes of Justified, Archer, Sons of Anarchy, Damages, The Shield, Terriers…
edit: According to this thread at Digital Home, some other Canadian specialty channels still hold the rights to a few FX shows (damn you, Super Channel!) but it looks like a decent core of FX’s US programming will still port over. Also, I had NO IDEA that Showcase was airing Season 5 episodes of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia… not sure where the already-aired-in-America Season 6 will show up, but hopefully it (and the upcoming [in September] Season 7) will show up in HD on the new FX station.
