from the "old news" dept.

The budget cuts at Global Television went down last fall and brutalized the spunky little television station that I helped launch in Halifax, N.S. w-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-y back in 1988 (20 years ago!).

Tonight, I stumbled across an opinion piece by former MITV sports director Alex J. Walling. He wrote it in October, immediately after the cuts were announced.

It brought back a flood of memories and made me feel really, really old.

Thanks Axel K. Appalling! No donair for you!

Read A.J.'s words HERE.

I'm still planning to put together some sort of pub crawl in Halifax to mark the 20th anniversary. Can't wait!

Cheers!
