Who needs TV when we've got the posts of CanadaMan and Mitchell to inform us?
CTV cancelling most noon and weekend newscasts as Bell cuts 4,800 jobs.

The demographics are changing and most of the younger people don't care about legacy style media. It's all online, it's all on their apps. It makes sense.
Before it was a family or a single home family where people would sit and watch the news, but that demographic is failing and dying off now.
So you got Tucker Carlson doing his thing, Rebel News doing theirs, not sure where the Progressive side is going with their angled stories, but they will, I guess TYT and others.
I was more saddened when the globe and mail stopped selling print in my town. On line reading is just not the same thing.
I miss getting the daily paper.

Not just the younger. I'm mid fifties and went back to good old antenna 2 years ago. I get 5 channels which is more than enough.
Also, some/many foreign language channels. Why bother learning English (or French) when one can watch the news in Chinese, Portuguese, Italian, etc.
When I cut cable years ago I installed an HD antennae which gives me dozens of over-the-air uncompressed HD channels. Was cheap too like $300 all in. Great to access news/sports if the internet goes down!
I live between downtown Toronto and Scarborough. I have an outdoor tv antenna on the roof and consistently get 43 channels.
Hopefully we can stop funding the CBC which is nothing more than a propaganda outlet for the liberal party
You're just pissed because Sun News Network got canned years ago.

5 channels, why dagnabbit, back in my day we only had 2 channels in English CBC and CFCF and that's the way we liked it. <shakes fist>
I live in Quebec now so basic antenna gets me English cbc, french cbc, french tva, novoo and tele-quebec.
THe CFCF and the reference to English should be a giveaway that I was talking Montreal.
Have no idea how many French stations we had back then, straight to channel 6 or 12.
That is a lie. They report fully on every scandal that Trudeau gets into, do they not? They also show the clips of PP blaming everything on JT constantly.
Record job losses, all the while...

The problem with government is that they love losers and would move the Earth to bail them out. Meanwhile, winners get bashed.
