I always watched Dan McLean on CHCH TV 11 during its heyday. I don't think that it was fair of them to just force the most familiar faces in news reporting just because Comcast is so cheap. :P
Dan is now co-host of the Mix 106.5 morning radio show in Owen Sound with a lady named Barb Jelly.
Even though he's fitting in nicely up there, I'm sure CHCH and Hamilton news viewers and Hamiltonians still truly miss him and his signature deep voice. He did a lot for Hamilton's community, and I'm sure television and radio fans across Ontario still associate Dan McLean with CHCH and Hamilton.
All the best up in Owen Sound, Dan! You're a class act and a great man!
@kanukster And what does their political affiliation have to do with the fact that Mclean was a good newscaster? I guess the type of "truth" you seek is the outright lies, smears, bullshit and that you'd get on the Fox Propaganda channel in the states. Fuck off you conservative pleb. Go back to sucking the shit out of Harper's fascist ass. DERP!!!
@CTM1978 Your to busy thinking about way's to insult me that you've missed the entire point of my original post. But, being the young leftist turd that you are, I'll over look your immaturity and let you learn your own lessons the hard way.
Just remember, Liberalism is dangerous to your health!
Canwest is full of a bunch of morons. All they know how to do is get rid of people who can make depressing, and horrifying news comforting. They also got rid of some great people on Global Toronto. (Peter Kent being one of them).
Dan and Connie are icons from my childhood. They are some of the best newscasters that this area has seen. I am now turned off by this "new" CHCH channel.
On a high note, Dan Mclean could be running for MP representing the Liberals in the riding of Ancaster-Dundas-Flamborough-Westdale (my riding) against Conservative David Sweet!! Woohoo! =o)
I really miss Dan and Connie. I remember when CHCH was an independent station, it was so cool. It was like nothing else. It really put Hamilton on the map, at least to me.
So CHCH is being axed? That really sucks, it used to be a good station. Back in the days with Kats and Dog, Maple Leaf Wrestling and other shows I've long since forgotten about.
We can't forget Discover Your World (my family produced that) I also had friends who produced Voice Of Pakistan on Saturdays & Visions Of India on Sundays
If CanWest had any brains at all, the would quit publishing the National Post. It has NEVER made a profit. Instead, they tear down great stations like CHCH.
i Hate Canwest they dont know that chch holds our area together Without them we have to watch Toronto news where will we get local news and weather They better not sell them
ive been on chch 3 times and i dont want to see them go
i remember when the CBC tried to close the windsor affiliate, there was a huge public backlash. hopefully the same thing will happen here, although those idiots at canwest won't care. perhaps corus might be interested, or there may be some pressure to turn it into a cbc affiliate. it's hard to imagine hamilton without chch
Dan was the ultimate true professional news reader . . . that took the job as a journalist
It's too bad there was no room for Dan . . . and its not too late to bring him back . . . make him an offer

These characters are all Liberal shills!
Dan ran for MP and lost! Jennifer Mossop ran for MMP and lasted only several years!
Bill Kelly ran and lost for his bid for MP!
And you wonder why are news has a Liberal slant to it all the time!

Damn Canwest for canning him. He deserved soooo much better than that.
CHCH was better before they were bough out by Canwest.

true, they also should never have bought Alliance Atlantis. that's what has led to most of their current woes.
