Heartbreaking when you think about it. So many jobs being cut, and for what really?

This has happened because all media is owned by 5 people across the world. So ANY TV OR RADIO station is biased and tainted in its reporting. TQS doesn't want to play the game by BIG MEDIA OWNER Rules ( dummy down the masses and hide the important stuff) so they have to go. Why stay and spew the same line towing garbage as everybody else. We have enough repetative robots even here in Quebec.

First Global gets downsized and now TQS..

These local newscasts are where the information is so much more pertinent..than the national newscasts

Remstar sucks and this will go down as a huge blunder in Local News coverage

Oddly I tuned in to see Mongrain's Le Grand Journal but instead they're airing the tired Douglas-DeVito-Turner movie..Diamonds something or other.

from an outsider's point of view, this is self-suicide. journalists and reporters were the only one providing original content for TQS.

I guess their next plans is to broadcast more cheap american series and videos of cats and silly jokes.
