Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses before us today.
I'm from the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. It's a fairly rural area. I also represent the West Kootenay. I live in Penticton. I represent Castlegar, Trail and that area. I'm a Shaw customer, I have to say.
While there's no community television in those cities, Shaw has a community cable channel. I think they call it Shaw Spotlight now. It shows up at events and broadcasts the local hockey games and things like that.
Are there any plans for how this merger would affect those services? Would it improve them or eliminate them? Although it's not a real TV station as was being talked about by Mr. Waugh, it is a valuable local service.
