So how many of you watch the Anik satellites? If you used to go there
 for TMN or Much Music or even had a Cancom programming package on
 satellite E2 look elsewere. Yesturday at around 12:40pm The E1
 satellite started to spin off it's axis and services shut down...The
 story goes that hey saved E1 but then all of a sudden the same happened
 to the E2 bird!!!!! To make a long story short as of 9:00am Jan 21,1994
 Anik E2 is no longer active and Telsat Canada is scrambling to place
 services onto the E1 bird. I did notice that Newsworld has many C and
 Ku band feeds on E1. Also the music channel has moved to E1-13....Where
 have the other services gone?
 Some things to think of:
 1- What happens to all those TCI Canadian Cancom systems?
 2- Where will the old services pop up?
 3- Satellite TV is not the only medium effected by this "disaster".
 4- What will happen to the plans for the Canadian distributor
 Teecomm to put up a DBS system?

 1 month of '94 has just begun and look what this industry has brought
 so far ..... Same service ID's .... Same channel ID's .... Satellites
 falling.
