I still think the CRTC made a grievous error this time around. Yes, the cable companies benefit from having the local stations available in their service packages. BUT, and this is a big but, the broadcasters also benefit from having their station shown on the cable services as well. Tit-for-tat if you will.
If they start charging for these local stations, I should have the option to opt out, and I may skip some local channels, especially if there's a high-def option that's not local (i.e., our high def CTV station is not the local one, frankly I could just skip the local CTV station entirely, as I could CITY-TV, which is pretty much a bunch of crap).
