Hi, SFont. I had added the current events tag since I had added information relating to how the Senate of Canada is presently considering a motion to televise their proceedings. The motion is before the Senate and has not yet been voted on, so I thought that it would be appropriate to include the tag there; may I re-add the tag? Paradokuso 08:31, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Alright, I am going to re-add the current events tag to this article. There is a motion before the Canadian Senate as we speak to televise the proceedings of the Upper House (likely on CPAC) and, as such, I think that it would be appropriate to keep the tag on this page pending the appropriate decision in the House.

The current info box is the correct one to use. This box is for a "tv channel" while the other is used for a "tv network", and CPAC is a tv channel, not a tv network. It's not a debate on what looks "nicer" or what doesn't, it's a debate on whether what is the right one to use or not. 72.142.251.81 18:48, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Has CPAC ever used a male French-to-English translator? We need something mentioned in the article. GoodDay ( talk) 19:29, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
As of August 23, 2010, I am in the process of creating a disambiguation page for the term "CPAC" and moving the content of this page to "Cable Public Affairs Channel". If you Google CPAC you will see that many of the results have nothing to do with the Canadian television station. The Wikipedia entry for the Conservative Political Action Conference currently has a higher Google placement when searching CPAC than the article that is actually entitled CPAC.

I moved the page the proper way and I am in the process of updating links that refer to CPAC. Feel free to give me a hand. Andrewman327 ( talk) 16:39, 7 September 2010 (UTC)andrewman327
Is this channel CPAC available in HD on Rogers or Videotron or Bell?
Why is an essential TV channel of government not available in HD in 2014?-- 96.20.54.51 ( talk) 16:17, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the page to the proposed title at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 16:35, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
CPAC (TV channel) → Cable Public Affairs Channel – Per, primarily, to WP:MOVE criterion #4 and #5 because this article is confusingly similar to the U.S. Conservative Political Action Conference and per Andrewman327's unopposed earlier recommendation recommending such a move due to "Cable Public Affairs Channel" being (a) broadly consistent with WP:COMMONNAME due to its (b) higher, more precise, and focused Google search results than "CPAC," whereby results are co-mingled with the U.S. political action committee. Secondarily, this naming convention is more natural than the current name, which seems to violate the "Miscellanea" section of WP:ACRONYM because it is causing significant ambiguity. (Friendly tag to @ Bearcat: due to his involvement in the space.) Doug Mehus ( talk) 18:28, 8 November 2019 (UTC) —Relisting. Iffy★ Chat -- 19:21, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
