Petition calls for new local TV station

Dear Editor:

To all Londoners — especially those that do not have cable or satellite TV, or who have any televisions that only use antenna or rabbit ears — this is important to you. London has lost three over-the-air television signals in less than 12 months (CKXT-DT,CBLNTV and CBLFT-TV-9). We currently have no local content available over the air except the evening news on CFPL-DT (CTV Two London). Finally someone is coming forward to try to bring community-based and community-focused television to London that will be available to everyone. This will encourage arts and culture in London and bring more good-paying jobs. I encourage all of you to sign this petition and tell all your friends about it. It will demonstrate that there is community support for a new community television station that will be available over the air to all Londoners.
