Yep.
This story would seem to have been “postponed”.
It didn’t air, and there’s not a whiff of it anywhere.

@Jon:

Were you given the name of the presenter?
(Might help in locating the transmission.)

^^ She’s a researcher, not a presenter.

Cheers!

I thought I’d look for anything else “Karla” had done by searching CTV Montreal…

“Your search for [ karla freulein ] found the following documents:

Your search has returned no results”
: (

So, I guess Karla isn’t one that would ultimately present anything herself.

1) “…even when Bell owned a bigger share of CTV, we would still do stories about Bell …”

I’ve yet to see any of these “Bell stories” do any real negative publicity to Bell. Every time Bell is mentioned, a transgression is described as “alleged” at best. They bring up a few “juicy” points, but let the whole thing fade away in oblivion – every time. People with obviously “more to say” are quite often not being asked to say more.

2) “…weâre mostly owned by the Ontario Teacherâs Pension Plan…”

The same people who were poised to buy out Bell, and, to the best of my knowledge may still end up doing so.

I’d be interested in knowing how they went about acquiring “people to talk to”, and how there could be such a shortage in that department. It’s not like there’s a shortage of people out there that wouldn’t have gladly bent their ears with a good Bell rant. But I guess it’s hard finding people who only want to say “so much”, without going “over the line”.

Even though they’re only airing it in Montreal, I’ll find the transmission and watch it.
…But I’ll go into it with absolutely no expectations.
