John Bitove has applied for a license to create an HDTV network in Canada. His HDTV Networks Inc. wants to create an HDTV network in eight markets: Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax. Thankfully, my city is in that list.

John wants to show Canadian, original Canadian, and foreign content on his network. All you need in one of those network areas is the ability to receive HD programming. I assume this means over-the-air.

So I have to wonder, will I finally be getting Smallville in HD?
