I have a physical PVR VIP2262 box.  It can keep recordings indefinitely.  Talk to bell to see about getting one. I can understand Bell setting a limit.

Well ... I'm glad to see I'm not the only one upset.   Thanks for the discussion.   And as for CHCH TV ...  once a great local news source but now a shadow of itself.   Mostly shows from 60s to 70s now.  On occassion I've been flipping stations and found the munsters, petticoat junction and others from my childhood.  I'm assuming its dirt cheap to broadcast these shows.   Oddly many of the shows must have had high standards because the color has not deteriorated.   I'm glad to see many of the reporters from CHCH found a home on CTV news.

Long time lurker here.   Just wondering if this has been talked about before but I find it very strange what CFRB 1010 is doing now.   Rather than have actual radio talk or their own news broadcasters, they resort to piping in CP24 or CTV News broadcasts.   I think that's sad.   I've listened to 1010 for 50 plus years.   Grew up with the likes of Gordon Sinclair, Ted Woloshyn, Wally Crouter and Betty Kennedy to name a few of the great broadcasters.  It was always good to listen to their commentary.  Now it's just approved santized garble that I could watch on TV.   Now its not all the time they pipe in these feeds.  I enjoy John Moore and the Rush but its a sad shadow of a great station.  To see CFRB's history see https://broadcasting-history.com/listing_and_histories/radio/cfrb-am   which must have known something because now there are no more updates on this website.

On CFRB this morning at 6:30 there was an endless loop of Dave Agar's theme music for more than a min followed by more commercials than normal.  (and thats a long time).   Perhaps another automation glitch?

I watch CITY TV news on a regular basis and I wondered if anyone knows whats wrong with Tammie's voice?.  The last week or so, it seems to be giving out mid sentence while she is doing the newscast, and changes to nearly a whisper.   Whatever it is, I hope she gets help and rests her voice.

Figured something was up a couple of weeks ago when =14px@Jaclyn_Colville from the Early News programming went on sabbatical.  Looks like she is one that got let go from her webpage.  I will miss my local news in the morning.  Now I will just be left to watch the shootings and TTC woes in Toronto.  Sad day for everyone. Right before Xmas too.  Jeesh.   Best thoughts and hopes for the personalities at CHCH.  Will miss you.
