He pointed out that CKNX television and radio news staffs were now totally sepa- rate since the sale of the television stations to Baton Broadcasting out- lined the stations' attempts to give the region coverage. Three of the four existing bureau reporters have been hired and are stationed throughout the region, he said. However the Goderich bureau that used to cover county council on a regular basis has been closed. A reporter from CKNX TV was pre- sent at Thursday's meeting, the first time in several months CKNX TV has been present. In a letter to council Mr. Clark said with the launch of News Now, a revamped news package on the two stations, beginning Labour Day, CKNX would be broadcasting more than twice as much local news coverage as before. Tom Cunningham, reeve of Hul- lett Township made the motion to table the Executive Committee motion which he had authored. The time would allow council time to monitor CKNX coverage to see if there had been improvements. His earlier motion had been prompted by the lack of coverage of county business on the station. He said he could recall few times before the Huron bureau closure when CKNX was not present to cover county council. His motion would have made council's concerns known to area MP Murray Cardiff, the sta- tion's owners, the neighbouring counties of Bruce, Grey and Wellington and the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommu- nications Commission, the regula- tory body for television and radio stations.
