We’ll just have to disagree then. Sun News is what it is, and I don’t see the point in dissecting it further.

I would certainly say so, CTS had to jump thought hoops, CRTC forced cable companies to carry CNN (lefty), MSNBC (lefty) but not Fox News and Sun News which is Canadian.

Lighting and camera work? I don’t know much about the craft of broadcasting and neither does 90% of the population, I don’t think it’s a big issue and after all it’s content that matters. I watch Sun News almost every day and their programs do resonate, not all the time mind you but when they feel an issue warrants special attention then there is baton passing. Examples being the Occupy movement, French porn on a CBC website and Jesse Sansone.

No, Sun News isn’t emulating Fox News or CNN, I admit their format is American but their content is Canadian. It seems like it’s emulating because the Conservative movement is basically the same in any western country.

Missing the point? What point are they missing again, Pep? I think Sun News is succeeding at what it is doing.

Sun News was trying to subvert established regulation in order to bail out on their failing OTA channel. If they had succeeded, there was a high risk of other local broadcasters doing the same and flocking to more supposedly lucrative formats. The CRTC was simply upholding their regulations, and I certainly wouldn’t say they’re an organization that favours left-wing networks. I mean, just look at the hard time they gave Al Jazeera.

A number of other news networks have either launched or obtained licenses without any problem in the last few months, so I don’t see the point over debating Sun News. This is very old news, and there’s no reason to drudge it up at this point.

I haven’t watched Sun in a number of months, so I may be out of touch, but from a production standpoint I find it to be very poor. The lighting and camera work tend to be very shoddy. The various programs don’t seem to resonate with each other very well, which is the opposite of what you’ll find on American news networks (which Sun is actively trying to emulate) where each host will pass the baton onto the next. Sometimes they show effort to establish their own voice, but most of the time they get stuck trying to emulate Fox News or CNN in a really stunted, restrained kind of way. Like many Canadian networks that emulate American networks, they often seem to miss the point and ultimately fail at what they set out to do.

Well, of coarse they would applied for preferred carriage like CBC News World, CTV News Net, CNN and MSNBC because Sun News Network is a business. When you are running a business, you us any legal advantage to aloud you’re business to succeed. They had to withdraw their request because of CRTC was stone walling which shows us that the CRTC favors left-wing news networks over right-wing networks.

Sometimes Pep, I think you want SNN to fail, so they would stop criticizing your precious CBC.

Why is Sun New, a “total joke”, Pep? I’m an ex-bi, pro-life, pro-gun, anti-gay marriage, pro-free speech, Christian and fiscal conservative which makes a self-respecting conservative and I would use the word “awesome” to describe Sun News as well as “awe inspiring”.
