I need a Canadian perspective. Our local cable TV provider is in a battle with the local NBC station over the fee for retransmitting. The cable company has been brutal in their marketing campaigns against the local affiliate, with billboards, print ads, television commercials. You name it.
With the olympics coming, they are running this locally produced commercial to get people to watch the olympics on CBC instead of NBC.
"Oh Canada" rewritten. Appropriate, or not?
I think that if a Canadian cable company redid the Star Spangled Banner, we would probably be pissed.
