Guess Starchoice really wants us to watch CJBN (CTV Kenora)

[Mr Tony]

Noticed this recently (within the last couple of weeks).

Seems like during a "local" commercial break on a National Channel (where cable/satellite co's can insert their own commercials) looks like Starchoice likes to cram CJBN down our throat. See commercials all the time for shows that are on there. See them all the time on both OLN & A&E

Huh...guess when you own the station you want to make sure EVERYONE watches it. Too bad it doesnt follow the same schedule as other CTV stations

Although I actually like the "Big Brother" theory, a more plausible explanation is that CJBN paid *C for the advertising slots.

CJBN is owned by Shaw which owns Starchoice

It used to be owned by Norcom communications (which also was the cable company) but they got bought by Shaw

CJBN-TV is a Canadian television station. It is a CTV affiliate, broadcasting on channel 13 and cable 4 in Kenora, Ontario. It can also be seen on the Bell TV (channel 224) and Star Choice (channel 320) satellite services. The station adopted the CJTV brand in the early 2000s, but switched back to "CJBN" in January 2007. CJBN went on the air for the first time on 1980.

The station is owned by Shaw Communications, which acquired the station in 2006 as part of its purchase of local cable company Norcom Telecommunications. It is one of only three CTV-affiliated stations in Canada that are not owned and operated directly by CTV. The station is Canada's lowest powered television station affiliated with a major network, with just 178 watts of power. [1] Its main method of distribution is via Shaw's (and others') cable and satellite services.

Remind me never to doubt you again

wow, I guess the Big Brother theory is right after all. Well, this proves that 39,000+ is FAR more knowledgeable than 17
