I think the challenge is this- how do you regulate quality? Look at our local stations and their Cancon:
5:30-9:00- morning news
9:00- 11:00- Canadian infomercials. (Christian Children's fund, Huntly Club, etc.)
12:00-1:00- Noon News
1:00-5:00- American Soaps (Available on major US networks)
5:00-7:00- Evening News
7:00-11:00- American Network TV (Also available on major US networks)
11:00-12:00- late news.
12:00-5:30- Canadian infomercials.
Where is this helping Canadians outside of the news agencies? How do you get a network to make good shows like Littlest Hobo, etc? (I'll leave Corner Gas off, as that is up for debate.)
