This news did not seem to help the stock price. Its now at 8 cents.

I am not sure if this would work for everyone,  but the last the internet went down I used the Hotspot from my Freedom cell phone to my tv and I could not tell the difference.
But this was for streaming only as I don't have cable or OTA tv.

As everyone here knows, it takes a lot of people in a lot of different departments to put on a tv show like a baseball game. In Rogers case they own everything from the team to the building where they will play. They are also the video and audio rights holder in Canada, and they own the cable and data lines that we will watch the game on.
I just talked with one of the rogers staff that do the service calls to our home. On every night the Jays are playing everyone is working late.
I am glad Rogers understands that now is not the time for someone to not have a working tv or cellphone.

Does anyone remember the last time or 1st time the Jays won. The games were on CTV and they used the American feed. Who ever was the host said a few things that were not well liked here. All I remember is there was an apology to Canada on the next game.

Is it true that AM 640 Toronto has its transmitters in Lincoln, Ontario, 60km away from downtown Toronto. I found this on google. If it is I don't understand how a station with transmitter towers closer to Niagara Falls can be considered a Toronto when it should be a St Catherine's.

Also google says its really a Richmond Hill station  with its CRTC License.

I hope there is a way to turn Corus around, but I just checked the Corus stock. It has dropped by almost 97% in the last 5 years. So who ever gets a hold of it will have there work cut out for them, and I am sure the company will look very different than it does today.

I tuned into 680 news this morning to see how they were covering the changes at Canada Post and the strike. After traffic and weather they did have it as the lead story, but only 1 short story, no team coverage or wall to wall coverage.
I guess that shows how important Canada Post is to the GTA.

I went to see this last night. Here are a few thoughts.

I hope someone film's this program and puts it on tv or a streaming platform, lots of history here.

I think the first 5 minutes of the show should be sent to every media owner in the country as a reminder of what a radio and TV station is ment to be.
In the 2nd half, the moment of silence for the Canadian Military was very touching and just as relevant today as it was back in the day.

The focus on the CKNX Barn Dance and making reference to the many other shows worked. But not much focus on news. They continue to broadcast local hockey games to this day.

The great fire that destroyed everything must have hit the media community in Canada hard because the amount of support they received was impressive.

The end of the show they made reference to 3 companies that wanted to buy the station but only said one. I am wondering what the other 2 were.
They did sell to the Blackburn family and Blackburn has kept there word in keeping everything in Wingham to this day ( for the most part).

It was a very moving show and worth the trip the Blyth.

On a side note, who knew Blyth had a hotel 🏨,  I stayed here, it has 3 rooms and was almost sold out.

I don't understand why Bell still has 2 OTA CTV networks. Most of the CTV2 stations like Windsor, London, Barrie, Victoria and Dawson Creek could easily move to CTV1, with Alberta  and Halifax (Atlantic) cable channels shutting down and in Ottawa picking the newest transmitters between CHRO and CJOH. ( can you believe by the book the CHRO is still a local Pembroke tv station. )

Global pulled this off in Ontario. At one time Toronto and Oshawa would have been to close togather to have the same ower and the same network, but times have changed.

With Paul Wells giving up on hosting his own podcast, it got me thinking about how many reporters or columnists who moved over to hosting there own show but maybe should have stayed with reporting.
I like Paul Wells writing and think he makes a great guest, but as a host of his own podcast, he was not offering anything that could not be found elsewhere.
I don't blame anyone for trying new things, you never know until you try.

I like the cabin radio model. Built an online audience, then if the online business is self supporting, take a look at moving into AM, FM or even OTA TV as an extension of your already profitable business.

The business model in this case was never going to work.

I have my tickets, we are looking forward to seeing this.
Blyth is a very small community but they have managed to keep this theater going with an old time hotel within walking distance.

It will be nice to re-visit how things were done "back in the day".

Blackburn Media has not started or bought a radio station or anything else in a long time. Gone are the days when they owned everything in London. (newspaper, radio and tv).
I always wondered way they never really expanded beyond they home base.

Back in the day when Crossroads - David Mainse was starting the process of getting there own tv station, there was a lot of explaining on how and why the Canadian system works as it relates to religious program.
Canada is not the USA and the CRTC is not the FCC. If my memory is right. The story that was told on 100 Huntley Street is. When radio was in its early days 2 church owned radio stations in Newfoundland were saying bad stuff about each other on air. Because of this the CRTC ruled that religious only radio would not be allowed and what a religious program could say would be regulated.
This is why Canada and USA went down different roads. This is also why it took so long for Crossroads to get a tv station, using the American model was never going to be approved here.
I do feel the Canadian model has worked out better for the religious community here. I am glad we took a different approach.

Any idea's on what Corus ( Global ) and CBS will do with this time slot. Global reduced its late night news just to get this show. I don't think they will expand the 11pm news back to 1 hour, maybe a repeat of Global National.
Will CBS keep this time slot, if they do what type of program will they put there. The same question would be if they give this time back to the local stations.

Does anyone remember what type program CBS had at 11:30 before the Late Show.
