CTV cancelling most noon and weekend newscasts as Bell cuts 4,800 jobs.

Great Reset... things are a changing.

Major shift in legacy media and familiar faces coming back on different platform to normalize those platforms as the new norm.

Shannon Sharpe, got solidified by ESPN (Disney), has his Shay Shay channel where they will share their outlandish distracting stories into the public and everyone will talk because it's juicy.
Like Katt Williams saying he's not a part of Hollywood, but he still had to be a part of it in order to be in movies and be invited to Red Carpet events AAAND be on Netflix.

Now you have Tucker miraculously creating his own "network" and getting an interview with Putin, amazing.
Then Jon Stewart pops up and it's Jon v Tucker all over again, for more distracting rants going back and forth.
Elon v. Zuck' in an MMA match, invited to fight at the Colosseum. I mean come on. lol It's all a joke to them and for us it's real.

More crazy things to happen in 2024 and 2025, 26...

No one watches CTV cause is rubbish. They can learn to code.

Replace them all with AI talking heads.

Cheaper and more efficient in the long run.

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.

Print media has been dying a death by a thousand cuts for a while now and has almost gone the way of the typewriter .The younger and middle age demographic simply doesn’t buy print media, so there is very little paid advertisers now, thus no profit for the newspaper companies and media outlets.
This same demographic also does not watch the mainstream media but instead gets information from social media or their friends who inform them what is on social media which explains part of Bell Media’s woes.
The CBC is protected by government statutes
AM radio is also diminishing and some car manufacturers are not installing AM in their vehicles anymore as talk radio also diminishes
Trump was very successful in connecting and communicating with his base through social media, a base who increasingly never buy a newspaper.
There is a danger that AI will further fuck things up with potentially major distortions of reality.

Where I worked twenty-five years ago, there were several newspaper boxes outside of the building. On a rainy day, I was in front of the building on break. A guy came out, and looked at the front of each box. He then took some change out of his pocket, deposited the money in the Toronto Sun box, took his paper and opened it to the center. Then he put the paper on top of his head, and walked over to where his car was parked.

Well CTV news today (Sunday) at 600pm was repeated at 630pm, with same commercials.

It reminds me of CHCH when they went through some money changes. News all day.

What is happening to this country's media?

Younger viewers migrated to Tik Tok, YouTube, Reddit, Spotify etc... for their entertainment. Big media has never bothered to develop media consumption around those outlets. If you want to get news/advertisements in front of viewers than you need to go where your viewers consume their entertainment.

Yeah yeah I know. Look, used to be cool and with 'it', but then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm with isn't 'it' anymore and what's 'it' seems weird and scary.
