I believe Alex Pierson is back at City/CP24. No mention of her on any of the websites but she's been reporting regularly for a few weeks now. Info Inc Oct 12 2006

What is the difference between Citytv and CityTV? RickK 06:10, 12 Oct 2003 (UTC)
 * Nothing...but technically, it is spelled Citytv. Adam Bishop 06:12, 12 Oct 2003 (UTC)
 * Is there any benefit in being consistant within the article? :) RickK 06:16, 12 Oct 2003 (UTC)
 * Yes, would you like us to call you riCKk every so often, just because we feel like it? - user:zanimum

Supporting documentation: the Citytv home page and the CHUM Limited web site both use the Citytv spelling, *not* CityTV. If you feel minded to change the spelling to CityTV, don't start at Wikipedia; start by visiting 299 Queen Street West. 64.231.183.40 20:07, 18 Nov 2003 (UTC)

by the by...Moses said it's the flow, not the show that matters...you have noted the reverse.

Lay offs
Does anyone know the exact number of people fired from City on the day of the takeover bid. I think it was something like 250 but I don't want to include a guess. I'm surprised nothing was mentioned about the layoffs in the paragraph on the takeover. There's been plenty of coverage so if it was removed on grounds of unverifiability, I suggest checking any Canadian newspaper. 23skidoo 21:20, 17 July 2006 (UTC)


 * 281 people got layed off. Anonymous 15:56 17 July 2006 (PT)

Vandalism
Is someone from Wikipedia at some point going to block these IP addresses that keep vandalising this article about one particular subject (I won't mention the subject b/c with mentioning it and getting the word out about the subject it makes more publicity, thats what the vandals want). I don't know if its one IP address that keeps vandalising the article or if its several but its always about one thing. It's happening a lot, so I think something needs to be done about it.
 * Unfortunately, this pinhead seems to be using different IP's every time. Fortunately, he seems to do the same few low-level, easy to spot, easy to fix bits of vandalism and always on the same few pages, like this one, Ed the Sock and Liana K, before quickly fading away. He's just a weird little nuisance who obviously has a bug up his but about something nobody else cares about. A couple of his early IPs got sock-puppetted. Ironically enough. :-) Doug A Scott (4 8 15 16 23 42) 02:06, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Robert Hunter was a significant figure in citytv's history but is not mentioned at all in this article. Look at article

Television Network or System?
Is Citytv, along with A-Channel and E! a television network or "system" ? If it's a system, then what does that mean? I've always thought it was a network, like CTV, only smaller. Jmacgrath
 * The difference is that a 'network' is licenced by the CRTC, a 'system' is not. CTV is no longer a network as it let its network licence expire. The only networks -- in the Canadian regulatory sense of the word -- are CBC, TVA, and APTN. -- Gridlock Joe 02:12, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Read Television system for a more eloquent explanation. -- Gridlock Joe 02:14, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. That has actually cleared quite a bit up for me. -- Jmacgrath —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmacgrath (talk • contribs) 02:49, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't know if the national network itself is necessarily owned by Rogers.

 * Trying to access the "index" page redirects to Citytv Winnipeg.
 * Sources only say the CRTC required Globemedia to sell the 5 Citytv affiliates, not the network brand itself.
 * Could Rogers really air CHUM/CTV Globemedia programming if Rogers owned the national network brand? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.5.181.164 (talk) 02:50, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Naming
Okay, I'm starting to think we're jumping the gun a little bit with the new name. How they've introduced it has been very awkward. Promos have been using both "Citytv" and "City Television", some promos still have the old "logo", and only The station formally known as SCN has actually just used "City" on their bug as far as I know.

Think we should just move it to City Television? That seems to be the new verbal brand (unless they suddenly switch to just "City" for all voiceovers too). ViperSnake151  Talk  19:55, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
