Bells are broadcasting

A national, English-language specialty television channel called Wedding Bells TV has been licensed by the Canadian Radio Television and Telecommunications Commission. The decision was made on behalf of a company controlled by the Gagliano family, owners of St. Joseph Communications and St. Joseph Printing. St. Joseph Communications publishes the fat and successful Wedding Bells magazine as well as Toronto Life, Fashion, Fashion 18, Wish etc. The licence will expire 31 August 2012.

The channel, when it reaches the air (it needs to negotiate slots on cable and direct television and digital services),would offer a service "devoted to marriage, weddings, wedding themes and wedding-related programming," said the decision. "The service would offer feature films, documentaries, shorts, series and other programs that focus on providing unique insights to viewers concerning marriage and wedding themes."

So get ready for reruns of "Father of the Bride", "Muriel's Wedding", "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and the like as well as programming linked to the pages of the magazine.
