“The bottom line is TV in general sucks. Very little worth watching from a Drama point of view, absolutely NOTHING from a NEWs point of view (everything is OP ED presented to the Gullible as NEWs)
I get more news from SDA, cappy cap, steven taylor, and steve Janke than the majore networs; and I get more entertainment value reading WK and watching him SELF DESTRUCT!

I watch Tom Clark’s “Power Play” on CTVNewsNet regularly. I like the way he refuses to accept the typical partisan party spin; he keeps asking questions until the panelists or interviewees answer the question. I liked Mike Duffy, and Tom Clark is proving to be perceptive and tough. Also, very knowledgable.
CBC, I do not watch, except for “The Dragons’ Den”. I couldn’t care less about the CBC revenue shortfall. It’s belt-tightening time. I’d be thrilled if CBC radio went off the air.
Charles Adler is more my style.
much like the newspapers when you stop telling the truth people stop reading in this case watching.
As a microcosm of what is wrong with CTV, one need only look at W-5. There is a good, topical newsmagazine show with no-nonsense reporting. So what does the American Idol and Canadian Idol network do with that show? They bury it on Saturday night opposite Hockey Night in Canada, the only CBC show anyone watches. Idiots!
Joe Molnar: “If FOX News cable was allowed into the Canadian market, they would thrive and earn shareholders good returns on their money.”
I live in Ottawa, have Rogers cable and receive the Fox news network. It is the only news network I watch on anything beyond a casual basis.
I live in Delta, BC and my cable company is Delta Cable. I pay a little extra to get Fox News Channel, and I love it, and watch very little else. I long for the day when all Canadians can get Fox. But, check with your cable company before you give up, it might be available for you now and you just aren’t aware of it!
