Since moving into Reno House , we gave up cable.
When the weather turned brisk in November, the man hooked up one television and using some superman type tech superpower hooked up our HD big screen so we get six channels.... all Canadian. Nonetheless we were all thrilled , after going without ANY television ,watching the local news on A Channel was ENTERTAINMENT !
I live in a midsize city that has only one television station. A Channel ( now CTVGLOBEMEDIA) provides all local news , school cancellations, local weather etc. The station has changed hands several times in my lifetime, but the characters remain the same.
I'm afraid that the new downsizing , scrapping the morning show is just the start to erasing local television coverage in London and region. The regular programming has shrunk into substandard crap and I fear that it's the beginning of the end.
I'm also rather miffed that the CTV station in Kitchener will remain unscathed. CKCO has a smaller coverage area , smaller population and is simply a bedroom community of Toronto which has a CTV channel.
This bonehead move will only drive more viewers away from traditional media to the internet for local content.
