In Canada there is Book Television, a digital cable station. I wish I could say that it was all books, all the time, but it's not. The associated website is awful and does not even have a current schedule. I recently read that they are petitioning to have their agreement changed so that they can air even fewer book related programming.

from the article:
Quote:
The channel was licensed with the understanding it would broadcast talk shows, dramas and documentaries based on books. It agreed that only 35 per cent of its programming would be made up of dramas and comedies, but wanted that increased to 50 per cent. It also wanted restrictions lifted on the amount of drama and comedy it can show during primetime.
Bell hoped the changes could attract new viewers with comedies and dramas. A sampling of its schedule for July 17 shows two episodes of Writer’s Hotlist that are repeated later in the day and four episodes of Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.
