Someone finally notices that CITV is off air

January 6th, 2009 · No Comments · Media

Government’s costly CITV boondoggle has been off air for a few weeks.  The website has been down for even longer.  Does anyone notice?  Anyone care?

The Royal Gazette reports today that a survey conducted early last year, showed that just two percent of the population watched CITV – compared with 41 percent who watch ZBM, 16 percent who watch VSB, and three percent who watch Fresh TV-3.

The survey did not quantify the amount of time viewers spent watching the channels.  Far more accurate data could be – and should be – provided by Cablevision for actual viewership of the “must carry” channels.

CITV costs approximately $1 million a year to run.  The money would certainly be better spent elsewhere.
