Rogers Shuts Down Six Stations

I think there are a lot of cases where you can look at a company and understand why they’re making a business decision. We don’t always like it, but business decisions are tough. Bell Media is a great example. They have centralized a lot of their programming and have shut down most of their underperforming AM radio stations. It’s too bad, but I don’t think it comes as much of a surprise that their network of comedy radio stations shut down.

This is a very unique situation, and I can’t really see any positive spin for Rogers. I guess the only positive takeaway is the fact that they get the remaining shares in MLSE and get to nickel and dime Canadians through one of the worst subscription based platforms imaginable.

You are right about subscriptions. I added up the amount I am paying for everything from my Adobe package and Microsoft 365 to Netflix and Hulu to the NYT and my local paper and my malware protection, I am spending over $600 a month on that kind of subscription. Add in my ISP, cellular phone and other stuff that I did not even know might exist 25 or 30 years ago!
