- Why bother? YTV puts the show on at  ridiculous hour, and put commercials
- in the broadcast. i don't know about you, but I'm certainly not going to
- stay up all hours to edit commercials (school and work being just a
- little more important), nor am I going to archive the show with
- commercials present. Why not let YTV give Dr. Who up? It frees up the
- rights for another station to pick it up, and they can hardly treat it in
- a more slipshod manner than YTV has.

  Ladies and Gentlemen, a miracle has just happened.  Warren has just said
something I partially agree with.  Mind you, I may not be big on commercials,
but its THOSE LATE TIME WHICH HAS ME UP IN STITCHES. To impress upon the
netters of Canada, Michelle Lee, the person responible for shows at YTV told me
"Despite the fact that the show DOES have a popular following, the ratings are
low.  Everyone was videotaping the show during Prime Time."  Hence their
'justification' for  the last slot.  SO bad a justification, that when I
questionned on obtained 'Tomb of the Cybermen', I was told fat chance.  YTV
rational has got me, well what can I say.
   As for YTV giving up DW, unless Canada picks up the SciFi channel, fat
chance.  I certainly and not looking at the degraded presentaion of
pseudo-'Doctor Who' as presented by WTVS and KSPS, in fact if I understand
correctly now, by PBS.  "NEVER!! NEVER!! NEVER!!" I rather YTV over PBS anyday
given the circumstances.  Hence, I just say let fans of the show in Canada
write to YTV and indicate discard about the late hour time slot where the show
can be found.
  SO Toronto, please report as soon as possible.  Long distance charges have
to be conserved
