Canadian cable companies use Shaw for these services where cost or technical issues prevent the use of a closer non-Shaw signal, even when the station is from a different time zone. (However, use of the Shaw feeds is not required for these services; cable companies are free to use any signal provider whose distribution is technically feasible.) As well, Shaw distributes a number of Canadian radio stations, and a few American stations, for cable FM and digital distribution. In total, over 380 English, French and multilingual signals are offered via 49 Anik F1 and F2 transponders. Shaw Tracking Shaw Tracking (originally CANCOM Tracking) provided commercial transportation and logistics solutions via satellite to the Canadian trucking industry, specifically tracking and two-way messaging.
