| Tax me, I'm Canadian. Awesome, more money for CTV and Global to buy more American "local" programming! CTV's whole "Save Local TV" campaign was a joke. Local TV has already disappeared in Canada, unless you call local TV an hour of news at 5 and reality TV and sitcoms from the US for the rest of the day.
Is NTV getting any of this tax? Channel 199 Bell TV/310(?) Starchoice? I wouldn't want to lose my local St. John's TV shows like the Young and the Restless, Days of our Lives, The Doctors, Tyra Banks, Entertainment Tonight, Deal or no Deal, Big Brother and all the other local programming they air through the day, not to mention the NTV Comedy Hour, their attempt at primetime local news using equipment from 1980s and journalists that make me wonder how they graduated high school.
If you ever want to see 10 minute stories on fender benders in the St. John's metro area, look for CJON-TV/NTV in your TV Guide around 4:30pm eastern. They run around this city looking for car accidents that they report on like people actually want to listen to a 10 minute report on some idiot yapping on their cell phone coming down the parkway at 80KM/h, runs through a red light and hits a pole and puts a dent on their bumper. I guess there's nothing else to talk about in Sinjawnz.
NTV is a disgrace to Newfoundland on a whole, not to mention their subbing of ASN/A Halifax programming on Rogers Cable in St. John's... |
