It's not just printed media that is suffering from the internet, etc.
Television (in at least its traditional format is suffering) news is also suffering. People have a bazillion choices of where to get their information now. It's not like the good old days when you had radio, TV, and newspapers. The internet has changed things and not for the better.
Witness the blood letting at CTV, and CITY TV as well. CHCH is all but gone
I noticed even the CBC has contracted out its weather segment to the Weather network. And that's the CBC! Bucks are tight and so they make cuts.
I used to be able to tell you the nightly news anchors on all the major networks. Now? I'm hard pressed. Even CNN has felt the sting of lower viewership and they've become more about political entertainment than actual news. Sad.
I really miss CITY TV that I grew up with. (I could care less about the tittie movies as I'm not 13 any more.) But I do miss the local Toronto focus that CITY had that no other Canadian Network had. I miss the familiar faces (all laid off or died off.) I also miss the piles of original TV programs they used to have. Everything from Speakers Corners, to SEX TV, to Fashion TV (yeah, I used to watch that. Hell, I used to tape that) to Ed the sock. All gone. Replaced with lowest common denominator shit like reality shows and endless shows of women sitting on some sofa or behind a counter bitching about something meaningless.
Hell, other than "the big bang theory" (which I seldom if ever watch), I don't think I could tell you a single TV show on network TV. It's all crap.
