The classic example I use is Global. Their Canadian Content consists of:
3.5 hours of morning news
2 hours of "Feed the starving children" programming.
1 hour of noon news.
2 hours of evening news
1 hour of late night news.
What I'd like to see is fewer Cancon restrictions. I would say so far it has produced about 1 good show per decade; I can name 3. Beachcombers, Littlest Hobo, and Corner Gas. Let the Canadian stations still show US programming, but make them work for it. Maybe I'd watch if they had fewer comercials, more contests and prizes, or a better signal.

Yep, Global is pretty well a waste of bandwidth and CTV isn't much better. I know in HD, simsubs often seem to be screwed up in someway and the picture quality is lower. I like to buy and watch Canadian but if I can find the same program at a different time on an American station, I'll go American. So far I'm lucky and Global doesn't have a west HD station.
