Channel 38 TV Stations in Canada - Tvontario, Cjco-TV, Chch-TV-5 (Paperback)


Chapters: Tvontario, Cjco-Tv, Chch-Tv-5. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 25. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: TVOntario, often referred to only as TVO (call signs: CICA, CICE, CICO), is a publicly-funded, educational English language television station and media organization in the Canadian province of Ontario. It is a crown corporation owned by the Government of Ontario. TVO is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, and supported by a network of Regional Councillors from across the province. TVO also reports to the Ontario legislature through the Minister of Education, in accordance with the Ontario Educational Communications Authority Act. Instead of following the model of the federally-owned Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), which shows commercials, TVO is instead, like fellow provincial counterpart in Knowledge in British Columbia and PBS in the United States, funded by donations from the public through various avenues including online contributions and on-air pledge drives. Despite viewer donations, the majority of TVO's funding is provided by the Government of Ontario through the Ministry of Education, which provides $30 million annually. As well, TVO is also responsible for over-the-air broadcasts of the Ontario Legislative Assembly in some remote Northern Ontario communities that don't receive cable television access to the Ontario Parliament Network. In 2002, the Ministry of Education transferred responsibility to TVO for the Independent Learning Centre which provides distance education at the elementary and secondary school level. TVO also formerly operated TFO, a separate similar network for Franco-Ontarian audiences. Before the launch of TFO, TVO aired French language programming on Sundays. Even after TFO's launch, TVO and TFO swapped programming on Sunday...More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=42888
