The Y&R is broadscast on Global.    Global carries it one day ahead of the USA times and has done this for many years.

Have lived in Woodstock for almost 20 years and have never heard Julie mention  the city in a weather forecast.   As a matter of fact have complained that their maps do not even include Woodstock despite the fact that Woodstock is the second or third largest city in the immediate area of London.  It also happens at Kitchener CTV.   Not a big deal to have someone in  graphics create a new map......if anyone still works there!   London (CFPL-TV) was one of the best news organizations but has continued all the way to the bottom......but thats another story for another day.

  For those individuals who attended the RTA course at Ryerson during the late 50s and early 60s can remember Wally Ford.   I rember one conversation with Mr. Ford when the War of the Worlds came up.....he said he had something to do with the original broadcast.   Wally is remembered primarly for his invovement with FDR's campaign for President.  A photo exits somewhere showing FDR speaking from a platform at the rear of a train and Wally is in it also.   A little bit of history that maybe a few of us "realy oldtimers" can share with others.  As one ages the memory cells have to be awakined to keep up.

  Brings back a lot of memories...as a teen-ager in the fifties my first hobby was building transister radios.    They all worked well considering how far away actual radio stations were from my  home north of Kingston.   A part of my life that I had completely forgotten or it just old age!

    As long as Canadians produce shows  (as now seen) OTA will disappear.   The land where towers now stand may turn out to be better suited for housing!!  

       Watching the Curling and switching back in forth with the Blue Jays Game.  The sound levels between the channels is ridiculous...one too high (Sportsnet) and one to low (TSN)  Have mentioned this before  but nothing has changed.....using Bell Satellite.   Incidentally all equipment is working fine.    My new complaint is...who is minding the store...brief pause in the ball game and half a dozen commercials are shown...back to the ballgame two runs have scored...happened again with  the ending of the inning.  The American commentators are not that good...not sure if they know where Toronto is.   Life goes on but it is irritating and getting worse.   

Received the same notice today and signed up......will do almost anything to eliminate ads and in particular promos for CTV.

Back in the old days (1960 etc) most radio stations had no format.   We had 2 hours a day for hit parade.....hour or so for country...mixture of everything for the AM show.....BBC discs in the evening and mellow sounds around midnight.      As the old saying goes..."everything old is new again."

Have to go back a long time for our first colour television...purchased in 1963. It was a round screen RCA with a metal cabinet costing $600.  Lasted many years and replaced by a  24 RCA cabinet Tv in 1971.  First VCR was a Sony Betamax costing $1600 around 1973.  All followed by VHS player, 60 inch television, disc players and just about every new piece of equipment you can imagine.  Today several computers, Amazon Echo units, 65 inch Sharp television, and drawers  of various wires, adapters, etc..  Enough money spent on electronics that would provide a decent pension!!

  It takes up a complete wall!!   I have often hit the wall when some outdoor scenes are on and screen mistaken for my patio doors.  Hee...Hee...!
