Many moons ago my local cable company (in Downsview) carried this on the Government channel during flights. Unfortunately, here in Scarborough, that is not the case (and maybe no longer in Downsview either). I called the folks at Scarboro Cable to discuss this and after talking to various people in Engineering, Program- ming and the big man himself I was informed that it probably would not happen. Technically, apparently, there is no problem. The feeling I got was that they felt there was no demand for such a service. I was told that they would need some form of approval (from the CRTC if I recall but this may be incorrect) to carry the signal. This is obviously possible since it was done once before and I do not think that NASA would have a problem with this. I never see many postings here from the Toronto area, maybe they were right in saying that there is no demand. -- ------------------------------ ~~~~~~~ --------------------------------------- Space is *not* the final | o o | Kevin Pickard frontier!
