In today's Playback Daily (http://www.playbackonline.ca/articles/daily/20080416/tvwars.html; paid subscription required), Etan Vlessing writes that Paul Kemp, president of Stornoway Productions is "keen that Canadians beyond viewers of Stornaway Communications' digital specialty iChannel... see [TV Wars: Media Money and the Battle for Canada's Airwaves,] his behind-the-scenes look at the firece battle for supremeacy betweeen BDUs and broadcasters currently playing out at the CRTC hearings".
To that end, he's offering it "really cheap" to any other broadcaster but doesn't expect that any will take him up on it... underscoring, as Etan Vlessing points out, the problems he's discussing in the documentary.
"It's important to get the message over to Canadians", he says. Hmmm.... I wonder, Paul, if you've heard of this new thing called the Internet? If you want to reach the masses with your message about a dysfunctional broadcasting system, why don't you try doing so by distributing your content outside of that troubled system?
