MONTREAL — Effective at midnight on August 6, a government-mandated update will result in a signal frequency change to Bell Media’s Noovo channel in Quebec, the broadcaster announced yesterday.
The frequency of the Noovo Quebec signal (currently 39.1) will change to 35.1.
Viewers using over-the-air (OTA) rooftop or indoor antennas will need to rescan their television channels to restore service. The change does not affect subscribers who access channels via satellite, cable or Bell Fibe.
Mandated by Innovation, Science and Economic Development in Canada and the Federal Communications Commission in the U.S., this TV channel redesign program requires broadcasters to transition their OTA TV services to more restricted frequencies to free up spectrum for wireless carriers, explains Bell Media’s press release (in French).
