Comwave is one of those companies that provides Internet, home phone, long distance and TV signals. If you're a subscriber to the latter, you may soon need to look elsewhere. The CRTC has granted an application from Comwave Networks to revoke its licence to distribute TV programming, after a company request. 

It's not immediately clear why they decided to get out of the business, although their packages are still being offered on their website. The area involves a wide swath of the province - including the GTA, Hamilton, Kitchener, London, Ottawa, Windsor and their surrounding areas.

Just out of curiosity, I called Comwave to ask them about their TV offerings and the guy who answered the phone (Yes! Someone actually answered the phone!) was stunned to hear the news. I sent him the URL and he's planning to contact the office to see what this is all about. Sad when the staff that sells the stuff is the last to know! No word on exactly when the service goes dark.
