Sad to see both International and Most Wanted are cancelled. I was expecting International being cut as it's filmed all over the place in Europe which definitely was a factor due to costs.  MW wasn't the same after Julian McMahon "left".  Didn't like International at first because I found Luke Kleintank's over-acting was a bit much, but he got better as time went on.
 

I do admit I don't watch CP24 enough. I will try to pay more attention next time. Sorry.

Global was also airing "Watson" late. I set my Plex Server to record it on Global using an OTA, and when I checked it Monday morning, it was Border Security for the first nineteen minutes.  I only set the recording to stop two minutes after the scheduled end time. I don't have StackTV either, but globaltv.com looks like it has the first episode available without the requirement of needing a cable provider login.

It's also weird that the second episode doesn't air until mid-February, probably because of the Superbowl.  Why doesn't CBS wait until the NFL season is finished before airing the first episode? No wonder people are giving up broadcast TV in general.
 

Wow. Didn't expect Kelly Cutrara to be fired. I now have nothing to listen to in the afternoons. Can't stand the hosts on NT1010 and Alex Pierson has become too partisan. I hope Kelly lands on her feet elsewhere.

Maybe it's just me, but Global News at 5 seems to be a little bit off.  Maybe it's because they pretend to be live when they actually aren't.  I now start watching Global News at 6 starting at 6:20 so I can finish when Global National finishes at 7 PM, give or take a few minutes.

Glad to see more HD channels, even if they are primarily non-English, rather than abandoning them and asking people to stream using smart speakers.

CityNews's new red colour scheme is annoying. Most of their YouTube clips have a fading red line at the bottom which confuses people, especially me... as if I have already started watching those videos when I haven't watched any of them. Maybe that's the point.

Global Toronto has been airing a repeat broadcast of Global National at 11:35 PM for a few months now. I don't remember exactly when it started.  "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" now starts at 12:05 AM the next day.

The CBCNN clock has always had issues. Several years ago, I noticed that in the evenings, their time for Newfoundland was wrong, as they cycled through PT, MT, CT, ET, AT, and NT.  It was, for example, 10:57pm ET, 11:57pm AT, but then it showed 12:27pm NT.  It should have been "am" in Nfld as it was after midnight. It went on for a few months.  I sent them feedback, but never got any acknowledgement.

Not sure if they ever fixed it as I cut cable shortly after.
 

The host mentioned on Monday night that it was the first night the show was being aired in Canada.  There even was a story about a raccoon in Toronto.

However, for whatever reason, they had two Global logos at the lower right corner for two nights in a row so far.  [Captured screenshots]
 

Back in 2016, I noticed the clock on CBCNN was wrong for Newfoundland Time.  They had it as:

9:57 pm CT
10:57 pm ET
11:57 pm AT
12:27 pm NT

It should have been 12:27 am NT.

I notified them but they didn't acknowledge it.  I think they kept it going without fixing for a long time.  I lost track since as I have cut cable and no longer have access to CBCNN.
 

The only cable is the one that connects to the cable modem provided by the company you use. My mother switched to Rogers Ignite a few years ago.  Her set top boxes are basically IPTV boxes that uses either Ethernet or Wi-Fi.  All recordings made are in the cloud.

With the Rogers Ignite TV app, there are certain channels you cannot watch if you are not at home.  There is a list of "TV Go" channels that you can watch.  I am not sure if any of the sports channels are TV Go channels.  My guess is, they probably aren't.  However, you can still set up recordings for these non TV Go channels remotely, and then watch them at a later time.  No idea if you can start watching minutes after the recording starts, or if you have to wait until the recording is done before you can watch it though.
 

This is why I listen to Kelly Cutrara on CHML on 95.3 HD3 so I don't have to mute my radio for a minute when the Spence commercials come on.  Can't escape the ones from Coast Appliances though.

Will probably need to find a way to time-shift radio as more annoying commercials seem to be a trend.  Unlike NT1010, 640 doesn't make full shows available as podcasts.  I can create my own "podcasts" and record the radio with Audacity, but I can only listen to what I record after the entire recording is done, not while the show is still being recorded. 

The problem is that not many people know HD radio exists. With data getting relatively cheaper (although it's still one of the most expensive places in the world for Canada as a whole), stations will just keep pushing their apps rather than HD Radio.  I don't have CarPlay or Android Auto in my old (2011) car, but I do have HD Radio.  I always listen to 640 & 1010 on HD even though the HD2 signal on 95.3 is sometimes spotty.

I like HD so much that I even bought a Sangean radio with HD that I listen to it at home rather than streaming various stations through my smart speakers.  I guess I'm one of the weird people out there.  If HD radio is gone, I will definitely miss it.

The tone of the latest Spence copy would suggest that their sales figures were far less than expected.

As if one Spence Diamonds commercial isn't annoying enough.  There were TWO Spence spots within the same break on NT1010.  Come on... It's a recession and nobody has enough money to buy groceries.  Who can actually afford to buy diamonds?  It doesn't matter how many ads you run, nobody is going to buy your product.  So tone deaf.
