Quite shameful realy, he sure took a lot of people up here for a ride during the election, I did my little bit to warn people, got attached for it, but at least I can say, I told you so..<br />Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17616269412884770034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20438373.post-90245063360719762402012-12-10T08:29:38.393-04:002012-12-10T08:29:38.393-04:00It is so arrogant for the CBC to just drop providi...It is so arrogant for the CBC to just drop providing over-the-air local services without any remorse. I understand that this stems from the Harper government choking off funds to the CBC. To take the attitude that areas with low population density simply don't count and/or do not have the political visibility necessary to be cared for is insulting. All the analog transmission gear should have remained in place or been replaced with modern digital gear. In serving Canada with Canadian tax dollars, this should not have been an option. It is an obligation. This also goes for any 'cable' companies that do business in places like Nain. CBC Labrador and CBC North should be 'must carry' services. Without local CBC over-the-air service, small communities must rely on difficult personal satellite reception, with very low 'look angles,' to eek in any TV signals at all. Each and every home would need their own Shaw or Bell installation. A very practical goal in Nain! Where does PeePee and the rest stand on all this? As we say in New Yawk "Hey, gimme a break!"
