This week and into the weekend has seen a full court press by CTV and local CTV affiliate, CTV.SWO.ca (Or CKCO to those over 12 and living in the big K-Dub) pushing the save our station campaign. This includes banners on the CTV and local affiliates website, open houses, online petitions and a direct radio address from Denis Watson, General Manager of CTV.SWO.

The issue is one of fairness.
The present laws allow for cable companies to repackage and resell television programming without compensation. This is an issue that for whatever reasons the CRTC (http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/home-accueil.htm) has allowed to go on for far too long. In a time when big business is asking for handouts, all the networks are asking for is a level field.
Please take a moment and visit http://www.savelocal.ctv.ca/ and find out more information. If you’re ready to sign the petition click here http://www.petitiononline.com/cgi-bin/petition_html.cgi?saveltv
