   Would someone in Toronto want to pay to get a Prince George CTV station   
   when they can get the Vancouver one to get the west coast times for shows ?   
      
   Heck, I don't watch CBC montreal, I watch CBC ottawa because its sound   
   is of better quality on star choice (or whatever its name is this week).   
      
   If we are given freedom of choice, there will be no regional stations,   
   just one or two stations per time zone.   
      
   And if we are given freedom of choice, nobody will subscribe to a   
   station in their own city, which means that they would then be spared of   
   the terrible channel substitution junk and be able to watch US   
   programming from US stations. (channel substitution kicks in when you   
   have a local channel that steals the US content).
