Good news, eh?
Give a warm welcome to FOX News North. From the
Blogmocracy:
And Now�Fox News North, Eh
Actually, it�s Sun News, a Conservative Canadian News Channel, which launched today, eh:Canada�s first right-wing 24-hour television news network was launched Monday promising to shake up Canadians� views on politics and the day�s events.
But the Quebecor-owned Sun News Network assailed by critics as �Fox News North� continues to suffer from staffing slip-ups and still has not sorted out its distribution.
The specialty channel aims to �challenge the English Canadian TV news establishment,� Quebec media mogul Pierre Karl Peladeau said last year when he unveiled plans for the network.
�Far too many Canadians are tuning out completely or changing their dials to American all-news channels,� he said. �Quebecor sees an untapped market opportunity in English Canadian TV news.�
Sun News Network said it would provide Canadians with �hard news� during the day, and opinion and analysis in evening broadcasts, or as its slogan touts �hard news and straight talk.�
And they have a Federal election coming up in a month or so. Should be fun to see the reaction especially just to the North. Vancouver is a very liberal city in a very liberal province...
