The final 5 minutes of Sun News Network (2/13/2015)

No announcement, no military band playing Nearer My God To Thee, just an abrupt cut to black. And they were themselves right up to the bitter end. Perhaps playing the "employee freakout" was a subtle call for help?

Sun News Network shuts down

Sun News Network went off the air at 5 a.m. ET Friday after failing to find a new owner.

... This is an unfortunate outcome; shutting down Sun News was certainly not our goal," said Julie Tremblay, President and CEO of Media Group and Sun Media Corporation.

... The network began broadcasting in April 2011, launching a right-of-centre programming schedule, but it has had a constant challenge attracting viewers. ... When Quebecor launched the station, media pundits quickly dubbed it "Fox News North."

It has been a blight on the political and social landscape.

3. like they did not know doing promos for show that no longer existed

[ffr]

4. Can some of them share that success with Fox Entertainment?

Because, that would be great. Maybe 23% of the nation wouldn't be so damned programed into carrying water for TV personalities whose goal it is to divide the nation for profit.

All their complaining that they didn't get a fair deal with the CRTC. When two years ago:

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/television-providers-must-carry-sun-news-crtc-rules/article16062408/

Canada’s broadcasting regulator is breathing new life into Sun News.

Rule changes revealed Thursday by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) will force television providers to carry all five Canadian “Category C” national news channels, including upstart Sun News Network, which has struggled to gain access to viewers across the country.

They failed in the "free market". No one up here wants Fox News North.
