Entertainment Spotlight where Mosé always mispronounces the names of movies is no loss. Why can't CTV, CBC, Global allow their affiliates to have some local identity like WCAX, WPTZ do? CFCF was a great station when it was locally owned. Now everything is owned by CTV directly and it's all identical everywhere. Loss of SportsNight 360 is signifcant.

I feel sorry for him. It makes CTV look pretty cold hearted. It's really sad how CTV has been pushing Ron Reusch out. I feel sorry for him. It makes CTV look pretty cold hearted.
