A conservative Cable news called Sun TV News has applied to the CRTC for a license to launch a new network which would serve as an alternative voice to the left-wing news cable channels, CTV News and CBC News network.
The liberals in Canada do not want an alternative voice to be broadcast and are currently inundating the CRTC with complaints against awarding a license to Sun TV News.
We must let the CRTC know that there are many in Canada who do wish to have a conservative network. Unfortunately the deadline to make your comments is tomorrow, October 1, 2010.
Our apologies for the remarkably short notice of this Alert. However we just became of aware of it today.
Although time is short, we must make every effort to make our views known to the CRTC. The process takes only a few minutes.
