Partial Success!

“CTV has announced it will carry live the opening ceremonies of the Paralympic Games at 6pm tonight, across British Columbia.  Yesterday the network said it was only going to carry the opening ceremonies on a tape-delay basis, to be shown on Saturday.”

Until a shit storm started brewing…: )

I am disappointed, however, that it won’t be a national broadcast, which I still contend would hands down attract more viewers than crap like Etalk Daily, Access Hollywood and the Ghost Whisperer.  With so much public money in the mix, this should be a requirement, not a choice.

But at least we in BC will be able to enjoy the spectacle.
