I doubt a lot of us watch TVO. While it has some good news and discussions (the Agenda is very well produced and hosted), a lot of the content through much of the day is geared toward children and education.

The history and science shows are great to watch because of the absence of commercials. TFO (French TVO) used to have fine European films on at 9pm
every night. Was nice to have them on in the background, commercial free and character-driven films. Not a superhero or alien to be seen on the screen thank God.
TVO produces very good Documentaries in house as well.

I think TVO is totally or nearly totally financed by the government so it doesn't have to run commercials and appeal to the masses. Hence, it can afford to be elitist.

But I thought Doug 'just one of the folks' Ford didn't want to associate with the elites.

Yes I used to watch Jordan Peterson on TV or quite a lot before his fame. I found The children programming When I was a child to be a bit boring. Way too conservative. Bland. Safe. With the exception of the teen science and business education.

Only if you are a skeleton. Just kidding!

I used to watch A&E mostly and not TVO but somehow lost A&E with Rogers.
A & E used to be good. But mostly lousy now.
The had a four part Bob Guccione doc a few weeks ago that was o.k. though.

I lost that channel when Rogers re-did my plan. I remember episodes on how they built Hoover Dam and the Brooklyn Bridge were very interesting.

Did he died a recuse in someone's guest house?

If I were Doug, I'd relocate tvo to Kenora.
Irrelevant and unwatchable.

I also had A & E with Rogers years ago. I managed to watch the Guccione thing online.
He was worth peanuts when he died of cancer compared to his high flying mid 1970s days at his New York mansion. He also had horrible relations with his kids.
I also had the Smithsonian channel years ago but cancelled that also.
American Heroes channel is fantastic but I have seen most of the shows on that channel.
A lot of channels and shows these days seem to be murder mysteries(think 20/20 or Dateline).
For the most part, I do not find them interesting.

33 respondents so far. This is actually a good turnout for a non-sexual subject. Results so far is mixed.

I think TVO is entirely funded with tax money so they are not concerned (or are they?) about the size of their viewing audience.

Voter turnout is now 38 which is really good for a non-sex issue. The number of voters who never watch TVO is the most but the yes is split between regular and ocassional.
