152...Local TV

I am in Ottawa, Ontario and, according to Wikipedia, we have 15, soon to be 16, local signals. Here, though, is the problem. Even though this market is pretty big, top 50 North America, most of the stations are mere repeaters out of Toronto.

This is insane.

The CRTC should do what the FCC does in America and require stations available over air in a market to actually serve the market that they are licensed to. In addenum they should also not allow out of market stations, i.e. CITY, CHCH, TVO, CTS, SUN TV on cable systems outside their catchment areas.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

TV in Canada is soooooooo broke.

Fix it.
