This is so brutal. I honestly loathe Rogers and what they've done to CityTV

I was so pissed when Speaker's Corner was axed even though I barely watched it. EC was canceled long before Rogers took over, no?

Robbers is killing CITY-TV with a thousand cuts. It really is unfortunate that this company tends to make good organizations go bland.

Rogers is such a wonderful example of a company run by idiot accountants.

Milk as much as you can THIS QUARTER and let the rest burn.

Originally posted by Adamo I feel sorry for the camera people but those "faux celebrity tv talkinghead puppets" are way overpaid anyways so theres no reason to feel bad for them.

How kind of you!

you're right, I stand corrected. EC was canceled in 2003 and under ChumCity management which is now controlled by CTV. I believe Rogers killed some other CityTV programming which was identifiable with Toronto like Ed the Sock, etc.

the whoopty doo isnt just about this round of changes. CityTV used to be a unique and fun channel to watch.

gone since Robbers are:

Baby Blue Movies
Speaker's Corner
Late Great Movies (infomercials FTL!)
Silverman Helps
The open concept studio space at 299 Queen St West

Thats just to name a few... and now the uncerimonial dismissal of some of the people who devoted their lives (since the 80s!!) to this channel and helped give it its flavour.

Notable alumni from City include:

CNN's John Roberts (aka JD Roberts)
ESPN's John Saunders
Lieutenant Governor of Ontario David Onley

amongst others
