Get over it. Wrong wrong and wrong. I uncovered this myself, tried to get the Free Press to do a story on this but they refused. In fact, what happened is Cretchiens best buddy here in Winnipeg, the former Izzy Asper, bought the rights back in 2001 and then proceeded to sit on it the whole time. He had money for a Jazz channel (ya right, like that's gonna make profit) but no money to rebroadcast a right-of-center channel. This reeks of media censorship, albeit in the private sector. - B
