Looks like CHFD (CTV/Global) in Thunder Bay is asking the CRTC to drop CTV due to a dispute

Broadcasting Notice of Consultation CRTC 2010-5


interesting....for the uninformed CHFD shows programs from CTV, Global and City. They pick and choose. When there is a conflict (where I guess 2 good shows are on at same time) they move one to the CBC station. SO maybe CTV said they needed to run the whole schedule or at least most of it. I know on weekends they run very little CTV programming
 
It's always been a struggle for good television in Thunder Bay, CHFD and CKPR are both notoriously poor for switching into programs a few minutes late, and lousy picture and sound quality.

If anything, hopefully this makes one station more desirable for sale, there are many rumors circulating that Dougall is trying to divest and it would be amazing to see some competition, hopefully then quality would improve across the board.
 
I know they (CHFD) said if the CRTC approved it they would dump CTV after the olympics

havent found any approval or whatnot at the crtc site
 
As I live in Thunder Bay, as camweb said... yeah... local tv here is pretty crappy at best. Rumor is that the local CBC here, which is owned by the same guy who owns the Global/former CTV here, is rumored to be going independent. I have some local news articles about this... maybe ill post them
 

here is the CRTC notice (item #2)
