Today, ITV Brandon went off the air. This comes on the heels of The Great Canadian Talk Show going off the air and two prominent bloggers leaving the scene.
The owner of Winnipeg-based Studio Publications Glenn Tinley said that the franchise in Brandon ran into trouble. Similar problems seems to have affected the Winnipeg franchise.
ON CBC Radio at Noon, Tinley said he hoped to see some re-introduction of the media group in Brandon by March.
In the mean time, Brandon is left with one less alternative for news and insight in the Westman area.
It has been a sad few weeks in regards to non-mainstream media.
Sad few weeks indeed.
