624...Larry Finds Out Now, Part Two, Local TV

When you read and hear and see how vital local TV is to your town think about this.

It is 10 04 am on Wednesday August 5, 2009 and Mayor O'Brien will be facing the music in a few minutes in the biggest court case in the history of Ottawa.

We have 15 or more over the air stations in Ottawa.

Your airwaves by the way.

None of them are reporting live from the courthouse.

None.

Ottawa's NewsLeader, CJOH, thinks that Twice In A Lifetime, a bad 10 year old Canadian show, Al Waxman's last kick at the can, is more important than reporting on the Mayor of Ottawa's verdict.

CTV's other station in town, the A Channel, thinks that the light weight American talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, is more relevant to the community than reporting on the Mayor of Ottawa's verdict.

CBC English is showing Wilbur; CBC French is showing Des Kiwis; Global is running an informercial; TVA a poorly dubbed version of the 1970's show Columbo and; TQS has another dubbed US show, which must have cost them tens of dollars coz I don't even know what show it is and trust me, if I don't know it, well, you get the idea.

When you read and hear and see how vital local TV is to your town think about this.
