Bad News for Canadian Fans... :(

According to TV Guide Canada...Global TV will NOT be airing Passions after it's run on NBC. They will not be picking up the new episodes that will air on DIRECTV.

So basically at this time there is not a new home for Passions. Perhaps down the road another network in Canada will pick up the new episodes that will air on DIRECTV.

:(

If Global's not picking up Passions , I hope Global-Toronto will air at 3:30pm with the day ahead episode.

Maybe Chum will pick it up? Or maybe CTV will re-acquire Passions?

PASSIONS moving to DirecTV - Frequently Asked Questions

As previously announced, PASSIONS ends its run on NBC on September 7, 2007, but will resume broadcasting on DirecTV on September 17, 2007. Here are some answers to your initial questions:

Q) I want to make the switch to DIRECTV so I don't miss a single episode of "Passions." What do I do?

A) DIRECTV will make it easy for Passions viewers to keep track of the happenings in "Harmony" by providing fans free installation, a DVR or HD receiver upgrade, and a portable DVD player by calling a special phone number (866-788-0003) or visiting the Web (www.directv.com/passions) that will give those without DIRECTV plenty of time to switch before the new season begins.

Q) I can't get DIRECTV. Will I still be able to watch "Passions" episodes online or on iTunes?

A) No, "Passions" will only be available exclusively on DIRECTV's Channel 101.

Q) Will the current message board still remain active?

A) Yes - www.nbc.com/passions will continue to be the center of the official "Passions" online community. Look for enhanced features and new content soon!

Q) Will my favorite characters still be on the show?

A) We hope to have all of our "Passions" cast and crew remain as the show moves to DIRECTV. We'll know for sure in the next several weeks, and will keep you updated!

You can save Youtube clips. As you said it probably wont be the best quality (but that really depends on how good the person capping the episodes is, and if this person is willing to make larger files per episode). But still, you can save them on Youtube.

A possible solution for most Passions fans and DIRECTV...Please Read!

I was checking out the DIRECTV website and I notice that they have a bunch of satellite receivers that you can use with your car, SUV, boat, RV, etc. Also, they have satellite receivers that are portable that you can use to go camping with or you can even use it in your house.

Now this may not be a solution for most but, I'm sure it will be a solution for some especially for people who are not property owners and can't install a satellite dish on top of the house or apartment building.

One product that I think is very cool and innovative is the portable satellite receiver that you can use for camping or even inside your house. This portable satellite receiver has a built-in 17 inch LCD screen and it's called DirecTV Sat Go.

Here is the website address about different types of satellite receivers that are very non-traditional...

Fellow Canadians!! We need to band together to find Passions a new home!!

I think it would succeed on MuchMusic, City TV, Space, or some other specialty channels. I can't see it going to CBC or CTV. Come on y'all, let's think of something!!!

It just is. I mean, is there any OTHER show on another television network that has an NBC.com/ "whatever" domain? I don't THANK so!

I might add: Keeping the NBC.com site likely would give the show more Web exposure (homepage wise) than the DirecTV site it may have. And then it could drive more clueless viewers to DirecTV. (We all know some TRULY ignorant people who don't know how TV works, and still won't get that even though they heard a show was "canceled," and they saw something advertised on TV as the final episode on NBC, they just don't GET that it really will live on.)

    • Perfectly understandable

      We all have our picks 
    • Teach me to post cocky about all these rampant relations! As for the cut, it just made Leo Howard look more stunningly handsome. There are guys I think are hotter, but he's got the prettiest face hands down.
    • Yes Arianna and Sami are blood related through Sami and Theresa. They are also adoptive/honorary related because Arianna's third.parent is Sonny, which makes Arianna and Tate related through Justin and Isabella.
    • I saw more about Biden Old or the staged feud between Elon and Trump or just the usual distractions, but I will admit I don't stomach most of the news anyway.
    • Figured it was something like that. It's just feels weird that Will came back to see John but he's not gonna be at his funeral but

        They are blood related. Through Sami and Theresa. I didn't notice it last week, but it looked so fresh today. Like he got cut minutes before they started filming or something lol
    • Bill convinced the Governor to pardon Luna. Steffy was too busy badmouthing Hope & Brooke for most of the Spring to concern herself with such trivial matters.
    • There hasn't been a media blackout, there's been live coverage on national news all weekend.
    • There's been something of a media blackout, but beyond that the only reason it's getting any attention is because Trump and the Republicans and their sycophants in the press are trying to create riots to pave the way for martial law.  And of course all the people who care more about setting fires and destroying property than anything else are happy to help them.  I've seen more interest in people arguing about whether or not they should be waving Mexican flags and how American flags are tainted than I have in the cause, which just reinforces what a malaise we are in. Many who claim to care about immigration only care to the tips of their fingers, just like Palestine and the rest. But these policies what people voted for. As long as they personally aren't affected, they are eating all this decimation up.
    • I was happy to see Caroline again even in one short scene. This was her first appearance since April 3. I was wondering why we haven't seen her, since Hayley desperately needs a talk-to aside from Bill.  I am also wondering where Jacob's partner is. Does Marcel have an opinion on Jacob spending so much time on the Laura case? Especially since Marcel warned Jacob about allowing his family to get in the way of police business. I liked seeing some vulnerability from Leslie today when she begged Eva to give her the helmet and gloves back. I'm still wondering how she will get out of the corner she has been written into. When we were first introduced to Leslie, she seemed like she might be a Machiavelli but since then it's clear that she more of a haphazard villainess doesn't seem to have a long term plan aside from causing random chaos.  Chelsea's desperation is cringeworthy but I actually think it's fairly realistic for someone who is closeted or newly out.
