It never ends. Would you believe a Star Trek musical stage play could be beamed into a theatre near you?

Could also say that all three have aired on CKVR Barrie, all during the "Classic Television" era in the late '80s and early '90s.
After 'VR installed a remote-controlled camera a few hundred feet up its tower around 1993 or '94, the station would, in the early morning hours, sometimes cut to a live view from that camera, with CHUM-FM for audio; better than bars and tone for a short duration before the 11pm news replayed at about 6am. Can just imagine what it would be like to run a "Tower Cam" shot during a thunderstorm!
