We were excited to hear the news. Apparently my sister, her friends, her town (OK, just her town) was chosen to have the local CTV television station do their evening newscast from the humble village.
Lafleche is a great little whistlestop (actually no train stops there, but I think the picture works). My sister has a small acreage outside of town, and my father’s estate owns a home in town. There is fame and fortune in “them thar hills” (once again, there aren’t any real hills, but I think the picture works).
So, excitedly tonight, we searched the internet. Looking for a live feed. That would show us the residents and their humble hamlet.
In this case, no such live digital video. No such opportunity to view the world. No picture that works.
And to think, the world can watch webcams in the nooks and crannies of the world, but we can’t get an actual broadcast of a television station that is sending out a live signal to the world of Southern Saskatchewan.
Sour grapes, you say? Well, actually I think my sister tried to grow grapes in Lafleche. Didn’t work. Get the picture?
