Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I got a bit behind thanks to some nasty weather-related migraines, but I think I’m going to be ok. I’m not perfect yet, but I can be in a position other than lying down for more than a few minutes at a time, so that’s gotta be a good sign…I hope. So anyway, here’s another …

Here’s the latest CKCO flashback. This time, David Imrie, who’s been a reporter there longer than I’ve been alive, looks at how much the news team’s technology has evolved over the years.
Here’s the second part of CKCO’s series on its history. It’s a fun one, looking at some of the shows produced by the station over the years, back when local programming was an actual thing that existed rather than the tired marketing cry of massive corporations that don’t feel like they make enough money that …

We’re supposed to call it CTV Kitchener now, but it’ll always be CKCO to me. But whatever your name of choice, this year marks its 60th anniversary.

I think Gill may need her own blog at this point. She just sent this in to wish herself a happy birthday. Happy birthday from us here, too. In ancient times 34 was similar to that of 100 today, meaning it was a rare milestone, and few reached it. Flash forward to the world of …
Between the Thanksgiving festivities and the possibility of eye surgery, I almost forgot that today is the VC’s birthday. And not just any birthday, either. It was on this day back in 2003 that Matt’s superior spelling and grammar skills welcomed us online. Yeah, 10 years. No, I have no idea how that happened. When …
This may come as a shock, but pretty much all of us (myself included) are lawbreakers. Even worse, we’re serial lawbreakers. And unfortunately, this serial lawbreaking behaviour started at a very young age and was passed down to us and nurtured by our parents. If you think I’m crazy, ask yourself a question: Have I …

Yes, it really is that time again. I have no idea where the hell this year went but I’ll be honest, I’m glad it’s going. For a lot of people (myself included), 2012 has bitten it pretty hard. I didn’t almost die like in 2011, but that doesn’t mean people close to me didn’t or …
The urge struck us to do some more audio, so here we are. We had a lot of fun doing this one. It started with me not saying go at the right moment. Woops. Welcome to me not being a good record button-pusher. Then we just rambled about the awesome weather, the Blue Jays winning …
