What I don't quite understand.... I see what you're saying in an overall programming sense, and I wholeheartedly agree. But when you say to me that after 15 years supper-hour newscasts have declined, my question is, where? Where did it decline?
I think you're looking at it one way, and I'm looking at it another way. In St. John's, it's a success. In Edmonton, it may be a success, but we still don't know. I'm worried when you say it's an “overall strategy”, because that's what happened the last time, when they went down to a half hour. You looked at the overall and decided it needed to be cut in half. Lo and behold, regional programming suffered in some of those areas.
