Local sports coverage was the one thing that made the Kitchener news worth watching. They covered high school sports as if they mattered to the community (which they do). There is no need to turn the station into a news repeater for the CTV Toronto news and sports which shows only professional sports.
This is such a mistake and a loss for the community viewers where some media consultant said local sports was just a cost account that needed to be eliminated.
Did they cut it as in downsized, or cut it as in gone?
