CTV is also a little left of center. You would think a free market would give people anything they want. Sun network is gambling big time that there is enough Canadians who sit a little right of center and that they will tune in. That was a business decision; not a political decision.
Right now Bell is refusing to carry the Sun network. Sun news has filed a complaint against them. They claim that Bell is just trying to protect CTV which Bell owns from competition. Again a business decision.
