This morning I can across 2 videos from CKNX from back in the day, they may have been posted before, but still good for another watch.

If you like watching how small towns did the weather, I am sure you will get a good laugh.

I hope I am wrong but I suspect many local CTV tv stations will have 4 days with no local news. ( Christmas, Boxing, Saturday and Sunday)

The big storm is here and we will not know about it till Monday at 6pm

I don't have a problem with Rogers doing a National overnight show for there all news radio stations, but what is considered overnight with 4.5 time zones across Canada. Is overnight based on Toronto or Vancouver. As long as it is live incase something does happen over the next two weeks and we still have local traffic and weather. Rogers / City does not have a National newscast on tv or radio so this is there only chance to see if they can do it with minimal risk.
Let's see what they do in mid January

I know "On Air" branding can be different than station call letters. In the case of Wingham and my guess many other markets, having the same call letters for AM, FM and TV, it did not matter and even worked well.
But now there may be 2 FM stations with the same call letters.
Also note, growing up CKNX FM was branded as FM 102, as technology improved they rebranded themselves as 101.7

Since I was a teenager and discovered you can send messages to the CRTC, I have been, mainly in support of whatever was happening in Wingham or Owen Sound, always making reference saying "I live in" or "I am originally from" the village of Ayton.
So, under the list of Surrounding Communities they included Ayton.
Its likely only I and maybe a small handful of other people would spot this, but it was still nice they included my home village.

I believe so, after the 100th anniversary on AM they want to move to FM. That would give Blackburn 3 FM stations in Wingham

I was a little surprised that Bell Media did not air the TSN feed on as many platforms as they could. CTV had nothing in there day time line up that could not have waited for another day.

In Ontario I don't see why they could not have had the TSN feed from 9am to 5pm. Getting as many viewers as they could from this.

Its easy to go after CTV for all of the mistakes that they make, most of it justified, but on there youtube channel they got it right. The weather this week across Southwestern and Northern Ontario has not been good. To CTV credit they put the full newscast from London and Sudbury on there YouTube channel. To CTV London credit they still cover Midwestern Ontario( CKNX area), and up in Sudbury ( remember at one time this was 4 separate tv stations) had 5 local weather forecasts.

With all the cuts to the local newsrooms at least they got this part right.

What CPAC does ( at least on YouTube) is provide full length press conference's and political meetings at the federal and provincial level. This is something no one else does that I am aware of. But the funding model needs to change. What that should become, I am not sure. CBC should really be doing this, why they are not is also something I don't understand.

I also believe Ryerson was to be the new owner of 33 Dundas Street, for expanded classroom space. I guess I read the fine incorrectly.

Looks like another good location for a new building with retail on the first floors and condos or apartments after that.

I believe Global was the best with a 4pm air time, but all they did was air the parade.

If the traditional tv stations don't want to air the full parade then they should move on to the new media, people with there own YouTube channel as an example or influencers. Offer let's say 10 of them who have a proven large following an opportunity to air the parade on there channel, but they need to show the whole parade live.

Anything would be better then what I saw today. How can you have a Christmas parade with no Christmas music. Who over at Rogers thought this was a good idea.

With AM radio stations slowly closing or moving to FM, I am not sure there will be any AM stations to receive, the last time I was up in Timmins I scanned for AM stations in my car radio and did not find any, its only a matter of time as more and more areas will not have an AM station to receive.

As I have said in another post. I am so glad I went to the Blth Festival to watch a play about Doc and the early days of CKNX. They very respectively wrote into program the war that happened, how Docs son made the decision to enlist, the Moment of Silence and how CKNX did its part in giving jobs to our soldiers as the returned.

It was a different time, but something worth remembering.

I think this is a safe move for CBC, but now the search is on for a new host for Metro Morning, and maybe its time for a new name for the radio show too.

I agree, what happened at CTV. No big intro, and it looked like maybe CP24 had taken over or someone was making a bad YouTube video. I am not sure about City tv, but both CBC and Global started off on a good note. On radio 680 News and CBC Radio 1 did a good job based on there respective formats.
