The premiere episode will air on Slice AND Global at the same time, not sure of the other episodes but I think it's likely to just be for the first episode in an attempt to get people hooked into paying for Slice so they can watch the rest.

Is it just me, or is Slice a terrible channel name?

Female nerds don't exist?

only rarely, extremely rarely.
i grew up in the late 80s/90s so uhhh nerds were nerds, girls were unicorns.
female nerds existed but like 1 out of every 1000 nerds and it was a real female nerd.

nerds don't exist any longer, the internet became popular and so nerdy stuff by the same stroke became popular (because nerds made the interwebz) and so everyone morphed/conformed.
back in the 80s/90s is where i'll stay for my nerdness... whatever happened since then is some kind of bizarro/absurd land.

'Real soon'.. wouldn't be surprised if that means quite a while in real terms.

He posted a link to his website

Www.dangheesling.com


Which has an article about what Canada has to do to be successful.

It's rather poorly written. I would have expected better.

Why can't it just be a show in it's own right?

It should be. Who is DG to determine what they need to do?

seems like it's trying to pull in the american version's fans by getting dan/chilltown involved which i think is a smart move.

the usa fans are a dedicated bunch, pull in that established fan base while also getting new casual fans for your own version with separate promotion

especially since it seems to follow closely the american version in format/style.
beekmanhill

But I don't know how many American fans will know how to get the Canadian feeds.

The people on the US feeds are a really dedicated bunch, but I noticed that there were fewer people last year, and less enthusiasm. Show might have run its course.

The show exists to cater for the majority, the die hards aren't the majority but a subset for the show to exploit for a small gain (in comparison to advertising revenue) and are therefore expendable.

I've just ordered the US & CAN package from ibVPN. How long does it usually take for them to approve your purchase?

But what I was trying to say is that fewer people are getting the US feeds, and it is only a subset of them that will get a Canada feed.

So no point in creating the Canada show to cater to US fans. The people who watch US on TV won't be watching.

If you posted this a couple of hours ago I think it should be working by now!

The Canadian streams are likely to be more popular in Canada than the US feeds are because it's a Canadian show and the feeds are free.. I can't think of a country across the world that charged for feeds in their first season.. it's a very clever marketing tactic.
