From Niagara This Week:
The man who spearheaded plans to establish Niagara’s first commercial television station has won the support of Niagara Region politicians in his bid to overturn a decision by the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) turning the TV station proposal down.
Wendell Wilks said Niagara is a “distinct place” with a large enough market to justify a commercial TV station of its own, rather than relying on tranmissions beamed in from other centres. In a presentation to regional council, Wilks said his company remains determined to carry on with its years-long battle to obtain the necessary CRTC approval to start one here.
