From the info in the link above:
"Hollywood Suite President & Co-Founder David Kines will continue to manage the business."

Wasn't Kines a big muckedy-muck at City TV for a time?

Operations Director of Much Music... then iirc, he replaced Denise Donlon as VP Programming when she left for Sony Music.

So what does this all mean at the end of the day??
Will the price of Hollywood Suite go up or down? Or simply stay the same?
How about a new package price that puts Anthem sports channels together with Hollywood suite?
