CRTC rejects Sun News bid for mandatory cable spot

Yeah, you'd think with every private broadcaster being right or centre-right, and even dear old CBC tv / news tilting right (because of screaming right wingers), that would be enough. Now if we could on get Pizza Pizza to stop putting the Sun on the counter. The last thing I need to see is Rob Ford when I'm ordering fast food.
oh come on guys the airwaves in a democracy should be open to all sorts of nut jobs either on the left or right. One of my personal favourite interviews on that network was some slack jawed yokel protesting something about Muslims and he was arrested for an unrelated issue and being put in a jail cell with a "coloured fella"
You may actually have it with you set top box. I have it and I didn't even know it. I certainly wouldn't have picked a package for it, but it's there. The simple truth is that people don't watch it.

On April 18, 2012, one years after Sun News' launch, a BBM Canada ratings report revealed that during a 24-hour period from 2 a.m. the current day to 2 a.m. the next day between August 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012, Sun News came in fourth place among English news channels, bringing in only 0.1% of viewers, behind the CBC News Network (1.4%), CNN (0.9%) and the CTV News Network (0.8%). Requests for Sun News to comment or elaborate on the ratings have been declined.

For every 14 people watching CBC News, 9 watch CNN, 8 watch CTV, and 1 watches Sun New. I'm pretty sure all of those 1's are here.

For every 32 people watching a cable news network in Canada, one of those people is watching Sun News. Given the number of fairly ardent right wingers here, I joked that all of those watchers post here. Given that 'in the bubble' right wingers infest pretty much every comment section on the web, I'd only be so lucky.
I realize what you said, but I'm surprised that those who dump on the CBC regularly aren't calling these figures fake, as it seems to say that some people actually do watch the CBC and do so in number greater than CTV or CNN. That can't be true, can it?For every 32 people watching a cable news network in Canada, one of those people is watching Sun News. Given the number of fairly ardent right wingers here, I joked that all of those watchers post here.

who cares..sun and its ownership are lying hacks... every headline is meant to rattle up fear and hate...
