So, last week, I curiously tuned into Vintage TV (Channel 700 on both Digital Cable and Ignite TV, strangely labeled as "Channel M") and got the following notice:
"Please note, Channel M (Vintage TV) is no longer available. We apologize for any inconvenience".
Now, I've always been curious about this channel. The quality of the channel on both Digital and Cable TV was SD 16:9 (per the Wikipedia article), and I've noticed that most of the time, the schedule on the guides wasn't quite right or in sync to what the channel was actually shown. I had never heard of the channel until a few months ago (Since it was only carried by Shaw Direct, Cable and Rogers).

I've done a quick search and I've noticed that at times and even last year, Vintage TV (or Channel M) has either shut down or got removed from Shaw. I'm now genuinely confused about the state of the channel, since there's no updated notice of their channel making changes or shutting down. I only got the Channel M unavailability notice last week since I was able to watch the channel off and on back in most of January of this year.
Is anyone from Rogers able to tell me what's going on with Vintage TV/Channel M?
