This is only really aimed at Canadians, but I just found out about the CTV rebranding and it’s asinine. As of Sept 12 Comedy Network is CTV Comedy Channel, Space is now CTV Sci Fi Channel and Bravo is now CTV Drama Channel. This annoys the shit out of me for some reason, completely unnecessary change

Well the generic re-branding does fit in well with the output of some of these channels put out: "gee a six hour block of The Big Bang Theory on Comedy, I certainly can't find that on any other channel."
At least TSN seems to be spared from this, I can only imagine the uproar from long time viewers if it were renamed to CTV Sports.

Generic names, but if one of those dumb channels showed Agents of SHIELD aside from when a season is in progress, I'd be happy.

TSN will never change, because I believe they’re still 30% owned by ESPN and there’s no way CTV wants to f*** that up. And yeah, I don’t watch Comedy much anymore, but Space I watch a lot. They have some of the Arrowverse shows, ST: Discovery, and some random shit I’d never heard of that’s awesome like the show where Dr Cox kills zombies or demons or whatever |

Space's daily schedule is just Trek and Stargate reruns during the day. They could stand to change up the schedule to include some sci-fi content that CTV/Bell has the rights to.

You forgot that Gusto is becoming CTV Life. I know this because I'm watching Gusto right now (...I like Blue Bloods), and they keep showing commercials for it.
But yeah, all those name changes seem really ridiculous, and I can only assume they're doing it for asinine reasons. But at the same time... they've started airing House on Bravo, which I greatly appreciate.
