- - Why bother? YTV puts the show on at ridiculous hour, and put commercials
- - in the broadcast. i don't know about you, but I'm certainly not going to
- - stay up all hours to edit commercials (school and work being just a
- - little more important), nor am I going to archive the show with
- - commercials present. Why not let YTV give Dr. Who up? It frees up the
- - rights for another station to pick it up, and they can hardly treat it in
- - a more slipshod manner than YTV has.

- Ladies and Gentlemen, a miracle has just happened. Warren has just said
- something I partially agree with. Mind you, I may not be big on commercials,
- but its THOSE LATE TIME WHICH HAS ME UP IN STITCHES. To impress upon the
- netters of Canada, Michelle Lee, the person responible for shows at YTV told me
- "Despite the fact that the show DOES have a popular following, the ratings are
- low. Everyone was videotaping the show during Prime Time." Hence their
- 'justification' for the last slot. SO bad a justification, that when I
- questionned on obtained 'Tomb of the Cybermen', I was told fat chance. YTV
- rational has got me, well what can I say.
- As for YTV giving up DW, unless Canada picks up the SciFi channel, fat
- chance. I certainly and not looking at the degraded presentaion of
- pseudo-'Doctor Who' as presented by WTVS and KSPS, in fact if I understand
- correctly now, by PBS. "NEVER!! NEVER!! NEVER!!" I rather YTV over PBS anyday
- given the circumstances. Hence, I just say let fans of the show in Canada
- write to YTV and indicate discard about the late hour time slot where the show
- can be found.
- SO Toronto, please report as soon as possible. Long distance charges have
- to be conserved
