123JDB789,

Yes I do have the St.Patricks Day edition.

I haven't had time to get it posted just yet, but I will soon.

Well CanWest did all it could to destroy CHCH. Well done. Leonard Asper is a tool. Corus may buy it.

They will be now that Canwest is selling the stations and deep-sixing the E! system, which I'm glad for because I hated E! and their crappy celebrity gossipfest shows. I've heard that the Jim Pattison Group may most likely buy CHEK, which I hope they do.

I live in Manitoba, and I watch CHCH.

heh, blockbuster movies not even 2 stars and it's blurry.

Im with you on this one. I dont think that an NHL team is moving to Hamilton.

CHCH is SOLD! Canwest announced June 30th that the station is sold to a small company in Toronto, Channel Zero. They proposed all local news programs from 5am till 8pm, and blockbuster movies in the evening.

[123JDB789]

Anyone see or recond the St. Patties Day edition?

[sperahouse]

Rather than Hamilton building sports arenas - they should buy the TV Station - it would better serve the comunnity!!!!!!

[RDLmainaccount]

VancouverTVGuy, I hope not either. I grew up watching it on channel 6 and listening to it on 87.7 FM (since the TV frequencies for channels 2-6 is right next to the FM radio frequencies). But all good things must come to an end.

Why doesn't Canwest just sell CH Montreal to Rogers or something. It already has a lineup more similar to the OMNI networks that the E! program lineup seems odd compared to the programming surrounding it.

OMG Dont SELL THEM ive Been on CH News 3 Times
