What are the HD OTA channels we can get in Calgary? I assume CTV and CBC, what else?

CBC, CTV, Global, CityTV and OMNI. Also maybe that Crossroads one.

Yep. 2 (Global), 4 (CTV), 5 (City), 9 (CBC) and 38 (OMNI) are all we get up in Ranchlands right now.

Oh man do I feel old. I am now 19, and somehow feel less mature than ever. This is my first birthday not in Calgary and damn does it feel weird.

Bigtime · #**1085** Posted **Feb 7, 2012, 2:00 PM**

Happy birthday Vascilli! Look on the bright side, you are legal to drink in all the provinces now!

Don't feel old, I turn 31 this month (and I'm still just as immature as I was in my 20's!).

In Tuxedo I get Global, CTV, City, RDI (16), CTS (32) and OMNI but NO CBC!!

Still good for the price.

Best thing about OTA is when I tell people that I have wireless tv to go along with my wireless phone and wireless internet. Makes me sound cool ... instead of a semi-luddite!

Bigtime · #**1087** Posted **Feb 14, 2012, 2:13 PM**

I laughed:

We still love you Edmonton.

Calgarian · #**1088** Posted **Feb 14, 2012, 2:38 PM**

haha, that's awesome!

Given how much love there has been shown for the tilt-shift of Calgary on the move, thought you would all appreciate this:

Ugh, that was painful.

Jimby · #**1092** Posted **Mar 1, 2012, 5:51 AM**

30 seconds or less would have been better!

Ayreonaut · #**1093** Posted **Mar 1, 2012, 5:56 AM**

The only part I didn't mind was the Phoenix thing. There's definitely some truth to that.

Rumour has it there is going to be a UFC fight on July 21 at the Dome. I think I might try to go, not sure how entertaining it will be for the price they are going to charge.

Just short of Stampede, that would have been epic. I am sure that tickets will be pricey and I am sure that it will sell out!

Just don't make eye contact for too long or honk your horn at anyone. The Douche will be strong and the air thick with Axe Body spray and testosterone. Too bad it isn't during Stampede as the fights in Nashville North and Cowboys would be epic.

You forgot to mention not to look at a single girl, otherwise you will be punched! lol

Make sure that you wear an Affliction shirt so you fit in!

I must be out of touch - what happened to Tapout being the standard uniform?
