      hmmm …. I’m unsure why that would be. according to the most recent BIO schedule that we received late yesterday, the show is still airing Saturdays at 10pm ET. What time zone are you in? Do you recall what show they were airing instead?

      hello. Sorry for your frustration. Are you in Canada? The shows indicated in our Fall Preview refer to showings on American networks. The American and Canadian BIO Channel feeds will often differ. I can try to see if this show is airing at all in Canada.

      These are some of the worst programs I’ve ever seen and what a let down from the BIO channel,
      Why has the caliber of this channel gone so so low?
      You do have some superb programs such BOTH of the Shatner shows are way above average, and the Bill Curtis as well. I have a hard time understanding how such polarities claim the same channel.
      How did this happen?
      There was a time when the BIO channel was the primary channel I’d put on and KEEP it on. No more.
      What a let down.

      The terrible awful programs I’m talking about are all of those “spooky, scary, paranormal, junk, nonsense” that is now dominating BIO.
      I guess that that is what is generating, what a sad thing to know.
      To use garbage as opposed to quality says a whole lot.
