So, Ed, you've been hired to handle online media for the parade? I'll have to make sure to tune in on ●■▼ this year (which is indeed a change of habit)...

@RetroWinnipeg Yep. They've got 100+ years of Parade footage that needs to be digitzed and uploaded. Hoping to put most of it on their site, but we'll see what happens. This year's broadcast should be much better since CTV is handling it.

Have to say I didn't really like this years broadcast of the parade. There wasn't as much focus on the bands and floats as in previous years and they spent too much time talking to the crowd as opposed to previous years where they spent too little time. I am confident CTV will get it right and it was only their first year and all so I can cut them some slack, but it certainly was not the same as it used to be and it lost that old style feeling to it.
