Sun News Network Abandons License !

Unfair exchange, pillage, robbery and all manner of other coercive practices can sustain such systems for a while. But in the end it becomes necessary to master production itself in order to resolve the fundamental contradiction between the equality presupposed by exchange and the inequality required to gain profit.
David Harvey, The Limits To Capital, p. 33

It is very seldom that an article in a broad sheet newspaper can utterly floor the Oracle of Ottawa. But this Friday past, an article written by Susan Krashinsky  in the Globe And Mail, in the Report On Business section, page B3 certainly moved the earth under this readers feet! The said article was entitled; "Sun News abandons free spot on the dial" with the tag line; "At the end of October, the news channel will only be available through subscription services". Apparently "free access" will end in Ottawa at the end of August for "administrative" reasons and then throughout the rest of Ontario on November 01 2011! Total victory? I simply couldn't believe it! I read the article several more times.. Then I cut it out and saved it in my day journal, what a total victory!!

Sunset at Sun News?

If you read the article, the wording is really kind of weird, which I believe is reflecting caution.So I went to the Rogers television website, and at the right bottom of the page you can find your province and then enter your city for your plan and the channel list will open in a pop-up. And the lads at Rogers are certainly not letting the grass grow under their feet on this issue! They have already updated the channel list and channel 66 is no more! As of midnight Wednesday August 31 the Oracle of Ottawa will be in a Sun Free Zone ! So one can then assume that the rest of the province of Ontario will be in Sun Free Zones at the end of October. Before I watch Charlie Rose on August 31, I will dial up channel 66 and watch it go to noise! The Oracle of Ottawa will enjoy this greatly!! GOOD RIDDANCE!!

We hardly got to know ye!!

What do you think the chances are that Sun News Network will have a "specialty agreement" with Rogers and Cogeco by the end of this month or the end of October? From the already updated channel list I would have to say that chance is less than zero! Thank You Rogers!! And what do you think the chances are that someone will select a specialty package with Sun News Network in it? Yeah, about zero...Notice to all employees: Please return all on air costumes to the Skank Locker at central wardrobe.....

It was only last Saturday in the Ottawa Sun newspaper that the great Canadian journalist marc dunn wrote on page two that "We Will Not Be Muzzled!". Did the great journalist know at that time that management had already sold them out, or did the said "journalist" write a lie to keep a smile on the faces of the on air types until the end of August in Ottawa and the end of October in the other parts of Ontario?....Insert the word perfidy anywhere...
