Does the old 1570/680 swap count?  It was 1/2 a Toronto swap.  I believe St Thomas, CHLO got a few bucks to give up 680.  Could be wrong and I am ready to be corrected.

Have the news anchor or Devo or Tim do the weather and save the salary?

Last of the old guard so to speak.  I can't watch the show anymore.  When Kevin "left" and Roger came in... ok, not the same but Ok.. I enjoyed Sid, his co-host meh.  The current mix of people other than Devo is bland TV and maybe that's what they're going for.  Always enjoy Mike and the biz report and will tune in to that, otherwise, no thanks.  Too bad, it was a powerhouse show at one time.

When I worked in Country you were encouraged to let the listener in more than usual to help make the connection.

There is an app called JustWatch, punch in the show and it will tell you the service if it's available.

Use Tubi all the time for older docs, the ads are climbing in number but nothing like Pluto, Plex also has some free TV options if you have it installed

In a sense they have all gone "premium" tiers.. cheap or free for ads, pay money for no ads.  Can't speak to Apple+ TV or Crave, but certainly Prime and Netflix.

I didn't ignore CBC Gem. This was a story from The Canadian Press about pay streaming services, and Gem is free if you sign up. It didn't really fit the study or the story. In fact, the article doesn't mention Gem once. 

I used to pay $5.99/month for Gem to get News Network and have the shows commercial free, is it included now in the free service?

Another thing, unless you are close to the TV towers in the US, the drop in power will impact many Canadians.  I can get the 3.0 channels out of Buffalo.. barely.  Any tropo, low clouds and bee farts and they vanish.  For me at least

My former Vet clinic is on the list of corporate companies.  There was one point where I took my very ill dog to the clinic and the first thing I was asked.. how are you going to pay for this.  Again.. former.. and I have pet insurance.

Yeah.. They said the same thing about Kevin Frankish.  Live programming is expensive, dump it and pay for the sports!
