talktv will soon be MTV Canada

Will the CRTC allow this?
Isn't Talk TV a different type of licence than MTV?
How are they getting permission to make this change?
I may not be a fan of Talk TV, but I wouldn't mind knowing how CTV can just up and change Talk TV...just like that.

If it's all legal, then I say good for them! CHUM deserves more competition to MuchMusic...on Analogue at that!

That's easy, they run the CRTC. How many license applications
that have been opposed by CTV have been approved by the CRTC?
I know one they opposed and the CRTC it turned down: Star Ray TV
- Community LPTV for Toronto: http://srtv.ca/ctv.html
They also opposed Niagara tv (TVN). I bet TVN doesn't get
approved.

See above. Why bother applying for a license from the CRTC,
you might as well apply to CTV for a license! This won't change
until the CRTC gets disbanded.

It's not legal and Much won't get any competition because they
have a protected format. CTV's MTV will be sufficiently watered
down. If there was real competition, neither CTV or CHUM would
still be around. They need the CRTC to keep real competitors out.
Craig got a license because he was a joke and would not provide
any competition to the existing Toronto players.

What about Stornoway Communications?...BPM TV ( www.bpmtv.com/ ) is competition...(if you have digital, respectfully)
They may be the very reason why there's no Much dance station...
(Gawd! There's Much vibe, loud, retro...pretty much everything else...except much country, which Corus owns...under the CMT name...)

If you like somewhere in T-Dot and carry TalkTV, then you'll get TalkTV on analogue cable.
