Sun News Network shutting down?
Just got an alert on my phone from CBC saying that Sun News Network will announce tomorrow that they are ceasing operations. No web link to provide yet.

Why does it matter if you don't watch it yourself?

I watched it once... just to see Trudeau beat up Brazeau. Unfortunately I tuned in a bit early and got to experience why even the most right-wing friends and associates I have didn't watch it. Terrible.

Because it makes the world a better place. Tomorrow the sun will shine brighter, the air will smell fresher, and puppies/kittens will be softer/cuter.

200 people worked there? What the hell were they doing?
The production values on that channel always seemed SCTV-ish to me. Ezra Levant was its Bill Needle.
Oh well, bon Voyage.

On-air talent, camera men, writers, producers, researchers, technicians... 200 people for a news station is probably below what CBC employs, for instance.

I tuned in here and there. Nice to have a counter balance to all the lefties out there. I like how they actually have the balls to say things that a lot of people think but are too scared to say. Obviously there are more people watching then many of you believe.

I'd consider TMZ as a more reliable source of news

Ever the professional. Platt is the biggest joke, I'd rather listen to Ezra than read another article by him.
