In the view of what may be in line for Canada over the next year in the camps of the Fee-for-carriage debate between “Save Local” and “Stop the TV Tax.” Although this seems unfathomable in the current landscape, the near future will see broadcast, cable, and satellite a thing of the past to internet based…
Open Letter to my MP on Fee for Carriage

Dear Rogers Cable Customer: {snip} I am now writing to inform you of yet another broadcasting policy proposal that is under consideration by the CRTC After rejecting it twice, the CRTC has reintroduced the idea of having a fee-for-carriage:…
Why not to “Save Local”
Today I seem ads on CTVGlobeMedia stations that are urging the government to require cable/satellite distributors to pay for distributing the signal. I think this is just plain wrong. Here in Saint John there are 4 broadcast stations CBAT (CBC Fredericton but licensed and has its main transmitter in Saint John), CKLT (Has no programming…

TV Bingo
In Fall 2004 I had redesigned the look of Knights of Columbus TV Bingo. The first few images are from that production. Later they were redesigned in the Fall of 2005 to match a new look I had created for the UCT TV Bingo. The later design was still in use from 2006 until 2007. The images above…

The goal of this project was by changing a few basic elements to an existing show design seamlessly blend in a holiday theme that still made the show look like the original. This project was first conceived on a Friday…
