North Huron reeve Neil Vincent
asked his counterparts at county
council’s meeting May 6 to help his
municipality in the fight for local
television.
Vincent said that no sooner had a
press release from politicians in
communities that would be affected
by the decision to shut down the A
channel stations in Wingham and
Windsor been released than it was
announced that there was a deal to
sell the stations to Shaw
Communications.
However, added Vincent, “to my
knowledge nothing has been put in
writing to that effect.”
Vincent said they are now asking
politicians to throw their weight
behind a move to lobby CRTC to
allow a different revenue stream
than just advertising for stations.
Asked what that meant, Vincent
explained that currently stations are
not allowed to receive royalties on
local news that is picked up by
cable. “CRTC prevents that at this
current time.”
Goderich’s Deb Shewfelt said. “I
would like to see us support this.
Our heritage really depends on news
being reported. It’s not always about
the bottom line.”
