The Toronto situation could go either way, with respect to Rogers. Although OMNI.1 and OMNI.2 are licensed as multicultural broadcasters, both of them have a large amount of English programming, and the two of them together could be counted as one English station.
Now, with regards to A-Channel, there is a very large signal overlap between CFPL/CKNX/CHWI and CTV's CKCO system, depending on the location. For example CKCO Channel 42 overlaps with CHWI in Chatham, and CKCO 13 overlaps with CFPL between London and Kitchener. Because of the overlaps, I would like to see Channel 42 shut down, and the CFPL transmitter moved to the west to better cover Sarnia but still covering London. CKNX, CHWI, and CKCO 2 would remain as they are, broadcasting the same signals.
In the Ottawa Valley, the CRTC incorrectly claims that CTV can keep CHRO Pembroke/Ottawa because in the 1990s, BBS owned both CJOH and CHRO. However, the CRTC failed to notice that CHRO didn't have an Ottawa transmitter back then, and CJOH wasn't in Pembroke. They only were co-owned because they were in separate cities at that time. CHRO should be sold to Global.
CIVI Victoria/Vancouver shouldn't be co-owned with CIVT, unless CIVI's Vancouver transmitter is shut down. Of course, one can use the CHAN/CHEK argument, but CHEK doesn't have a transmitter in Vancouver, and CHAN doesn't have one in Victoria. CIVI has a transmitter in the same city as CIVT. CTV can keep CIVI as long as they shut down the Vancouver relay.
CTV should not be owning ACCESS, and neither should Rogers now that they're getting OMNI out there. ACCESS should go back to the provincial government there.
Finally, in Brandon, I would make CKX a CTV affiliate, and sell CKYB to the CBC which would make it a CBWT transmitter.
