| Posted
on Monday, March 21, 2005 - 04:08 PM |
Talking about an idiotic decision:Shaw Cable introduced its subscribers to FOX News a while ago, to much fanfare. Now, however, channel 142 is dead. No more FOX News. Shaw Cable explained to me that they had removed it, because they were not quite sure how to package and market it. Come again?

| Media should share blame for Expos demise |
| Posted
on Friday, November 12, 2004 - 05:55 AM |
We've all been led to believe that the Expos have played their last game at Olympic Stadium. Montreal baseball fans came out in droves, to say their final goodbyes. While most have put their bitterness aside and avoided the temptation to choose a scapegoat, it is clear that the local media won't be thanked any time soon. They have done little to prevent the extinction of Canada's first baseball franchise. Some even argue that they've misled us with their pessimism.

| Olympics on CNBC: Why not in Canada? |
| Posted
on Friday, August 13, 2004 - 11:16 PM |
In every Olympic game since 2000, CNBC has gotten the rights to air the Olympics on their network as part of NBC Universal's Olympic coverage, which they have gotten the rights to through 2012. CNBC is straight from the US, not altered into a Canadian format, unlike MSNBC and Bravo!, which are both also owned by NBC Universal in the US. Why is it that CNBC is censored in Canada so that the Olympics do not air in this country?
Note: I think you'll find that it is copyright issues, the Olympics TV rights are sold by territory and CNBC likely does not hold the rights to air the games in Canada, NBC may be treated slightly different since these are sourced from OTA signals at the Canadian borders and Canadian copyright laws allow those to be retranmitted in unaltered form (outside of simsub rules I guess).

Opinion by Steve Hatton (TV Hat)
Canadian broadcasters everywhere are breathing a sigh of relief. The CRTC said no, on November 7th, to a request from the Canadian Cable Television Association (CCTA) to carry some of the most popular U.S. cable networks such as HBO, ESPN, Fox News Channel, Fox Regional Sports Net Channels, Starz, Nickelodeon Kids… the list goes on and on.
The Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB) argued that they had our best interest at heart because competition wouldn’t be good for Canadian viewers.

| Posted
on Saturday, December 14, 2002 - 11:57 AM |
(An opinion piece by Steve Hatton, including interviews with past and present local station owners.)
Have you noticed something slowly disappearing from the television schedule? In the midst of media convergence, hundreds of new digital channels, the upcoming arrival of high definition TV, it seems that there’s rarely a dull moment in the Canadian broadcasting industry. But who pays the price for all these sudden changes? An examination of Canada’s broadcasting landscape reveals a shift away from small town coverage. Local stations all across the country are dying. Your local television station may be next, and the smaller the market you live in, the more likely your station may or may not have already been affected.
