Valemount live Episode 29 Part 4 CRTC Coup Community Announcements.mp4

AM: [thoughtful nod] Lets talk about McCrackens Coup at the CRTC Hearing on Community Television.
JN: Right Andru McCracken and John Grogan made a presentation to the CRTCs hearing on the future of Community Television in Canada, but I wouldnt call it a coup.
AM: Id call it a coup. They listened to him for 10 minutes and the vice chairman for broadcasting, Michel Arpin said he spent an hour watching Valemount Live.
JN Yeah, then patted him on the head while deciding how not to implement meaningful changes to Community TV policy.
AM: Thats a little premature. They might take his suggestions.
JN: I doubt it, did you see his presentation?
AM: No, did you?
JN: Yeah, go to the VCTV Website to see a link to the whole sordid show. AM: They taped it?
JN: Yeah. Furthermore weve got a copy of the montage McCracken put together to highlight our show.
AM: You mean he showed clips from our Valemount LIVE! to the commissioners at the CRTC?
JN: Yeah.
AM: What did they think?
JN: Commissioner Arpin thought it was the bomb, 2 commissioners laughed, one smiled, one was deadpan and two appeared to be choking on something.
AM: How long do you think we have left?
JN: It takes at least a month to revoke a broadcasting license.
AM: I guess we may as well make hay while the sun shines.
JN: Sure, Lets show folks that montage.
