Here is what esteemed morning yuckster on Bob FM in Ottawa Sandy Sharkey has been commissioned by her bosses at CTV to say on her blog:
Please get involved!! Help us to save local television!
There is a crisis and it is very real: in just 11 days, a decision may be made on behalf of the CRTC that could end local television forever. PLEASE TAKE A FEW MOMENTS TO WRITE TO THE CRTC AND STAND UP FOR LOCAL TELEVISION!! All the facts are available right here...www.localtvmatters.ca
Please - make your voice be heard. Our community deserves local television!!!
What a pile of crap. If you cannot make money running a TV station in a market of over a million people like Ottawa you have no business running a TV station. What is killing local TV is the cannibalization of TV in this and every other market in Canada.
There are about 17 over the air signals in this town and all but two of the english and two of the french ones are repeaters.
TV is eating itself.

Agree with you. And the repetition of U.S. shows on all the local channels drives me crazy. We sorely need more Canadian programming as there is hardly any. And all these channels make tons of money from advertising. Gougers is what they are.
