By Graeme MacKay, Editorial Cartoonist, The Hamilton Spectator - Friday December 11, 2015 CHCH TV cancels tonightÕs newscast; station future uncertain CHCH news staff is waiting to find out the fate of their station after being told there will be no 6 o'clock newscast tonight. An announcement to staff is expected at 4 p.m., by email, sources inside the CH newsroom say. The fear is the station is shutting down or being dramatically reduced. Employees began asking questions this morning after money was unexpectedly deposited in some employees' bank accounts. One staffer Ñ who does not want to be identified Ñ says the amount was equal to about two paycheques. The station is owned by Channel Zero in Toronto. One staffer, who didn't want her name used because she was clinging to the hope she might still have a job on Monday, said the mood is "awful." As of 2:45 p.m. people were still optimistically working to file stories, she said.

CHCH TV cancels tonight’s newscast; station future uncertain

CHCH news staff is waiting to find out the fate of their station after being told there will be no 6 o’clock newscast tonight.

An announcement to staff is expected at 4 p.m., by email, sources inside the CH newsroom say. The fear is the station is shutting down or being dramatically reduced.

Employees began asking questions this morning after money was unexpectedly deposited in some employees’ bank accounts. One staffer — who does not want to be identified — says the amount was equal to about two paycheques.

The station is owned by Channel Zero in Toronto.

As of 2:45 p.m. people were still optimistically working to file stories, she said. (Source: Hamilton Spectator)

Please note…

This website contains satirical commentaries of current events going back several decades. Some readers may not share this sense of humour nor the opinions expressed by the artist. To understand editorial cartoons it is important to understand their effectiveness as a counterweight to power. It is presumed readers approach satire with a broad minded foundation and healthy knowledge of objective facts of the subjects depicted.
