[news] The End of Public ACCESS

[Resist!ca]

"This week CHUM Ltd. purchased up all the shares of the Learning TV Network which includes ACCESS. It's part of its move into the Alberta media marketplace with its purchase of A-Channel in Edmonton and Calgary and its launch of a new FM radio station in Edmonton. This is the final act of fire sale piracy that sacrificed public access to media on the altar of privatization."
