| korn koiler User Info... | Well no wonder, their programming SUCKS! Hopefully they got rid of that shit ass weather guy, yah I really want to hear your fucking Sea Chanty's there Tony. And has anyone ever seen the commercials the New VI makes? A drunk monkey with Final Cut could do better. And has anyone ever seen the New VI really cover local events? I mean, not the mainstream crap, and I dont mean when they show up at a gig and tape 30 seconds of the opening act to use as a segueway, but REALLY support it like Shaw Cable's little entertainment slot on that channel which is poop brown. Those guys are actually interesting ( the Shaw guys ) and actually get out and meet people, interview bands, promote shows.. New VI, you dig your own grave, now you lie down in it and allow us to hire the backhoe. - Thu, 13 Nov 2003 8:01am | ||
| Neil User Info... | It sucks that people lost there jobs but I really thought that weather guy was horrible. - Thu, 13 Nov 2003 8:52am | ||
| $TIM$ User Info... | Got to admit, though, it's a pretty good job, the ol' weather gig. You get to sit in a boat down in the harbour, get shitfaced, then go on the TV and tell people what it looks like outside. "Arrr, she's a bit foggy tonight, but that might change. Then again, maybe not..." - Thu, 13 Nov 2003 10:11am | ||
| S.V. User Info... | I agree that weather guy gets on my nerves too. I almost prefer the pale and weedy fellow...Marv? Ah who cares I rarely watch New VI anyway. - Thu, 13 Nov 2003 10:38am | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | oh man the New Vi better not have gotten rid of that one asian chick, she was fucking hot. and that Klaudia Ceglarz wasn't that bad either :D i wonder if theyll hire me. i can act like i care about the news, plus im easy on the eyes. - Thu, 13 Nov 2003 2:22pm | ||

| osama User Info... | I like watching it at 2 am with all the hot ladies in bikinis oiling themselves down - Thu, 13 Nov 2003 8:26pm | ||
| ML7Mike User Info... | Hopefully they canned that sports guy.. or all of the sports guys.. I mean, could you be any LESS enthusiastic??? Take a lesson from Sportsnet/ex-Sportspage Don Mclean and get some LIFE into your sports commentary! - Fri, 14 Nov 2003 7:23am | ||
| Shaggy User Info... | I hope they never layed off Cheekwan :/ - Fri, 14 Nov 2003 8:15am | ||
| Broccoli User Info... | They should gimmi a morning show, I'd be great: I'd have go-go dancers in the background, often be horribly hung-over and rude to guests. Take meaningless poles from hot chix at Uvic... It'd Beat the fuk out of that old guy in sweatpants doing pseudoyoga, or that nanimo dink whining about cheese, or whatever it is they show in the morning. - Fri, 14 Nov 2003 9:06am | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | But they've been laying off people ever since they came to this town to take away revenue the "local" stations could of used. I know of 2 people who were laid off in the last few years, for instance. - Fri, 14 Nov 2003 11:15am | ||
| SentencedtoBurn User Info... | "Take a lesson from Sportsnet/ex-Sportspage Don Mclean and get some LIFE into your sports commentary!" You mean "Bye, Bye Miss American Pie".... Oh hold on. I think you meant Don Taylor. - Fri, 14 Nov 2003 2:04pm | ||
| ML7Mike User Info... | uhhh.. yah. thats what I said dumass. - Fri, 14 Nov 2003 3:32pm | ||
| ML7Mike User Info... | Dammit, I cant edit an old post! okok, pass the blueberry budz this way! Haha thats funny.. Good ole DonTaylor. now there's a sports commentator.. I love how in his world the goalies store their Hustlers in the upper part of the net.. - Fri, 14 Nov 2003 3:32pm | ||
| Masturbating The War God User Info... | Good riddance I say, I hate the newVI. It's not just the sports and weather guy, they all suck, mono-tone robots. - Sat, 15 Nov 2003 6:33am | ||
| XY-SATAN User Info... | What's a new VI ? ......or is that the old new VI now ?........Hmmmmmm? - Sat, 15 Nov 2003 10:09am | ||
| DOOMHAMMER User Info... | All thier programming sucks. Shit like relic hunter and beastmaster. When i was too fucking cheap to get cable it was the only channel i had, it always amazed me what they thought was watchable. 1-800-missing? And tony the weather guy aint so bad. Its that rat faced marv or whatever his name is that pisses me off. Only has that job because he produces it too. Plus what do you expect would happen when you only report local teams and events. I could care less what the victoria midget hockey team does personally. - Sat, 15 Nov 2003 2:08pm | ||
| Colin Sick User Info... | I saw the sports guy on the street one night and told him how much I hated his sports cast. - Sun, 16 Nov 2003 7:30am | ||
| SentencedtoBurn User Info... | I saw Dag Sharman in a pub on E.41st last night. True story. - Sun, 16 Nov 2003 8:44am | ||
| Broccoli User Info... | Mo Sahoda is pretty cool... - Sun, 16 Nov 2003 2:03pm | ||
| jepsycho User Info... | The weather guy totally got on my nerves. He could not get threw a single forecast without stumbling over his words. I don't wanna hear his singing and I dont care what is doing to fix his boat. Is it gonna rain or not dammit. Oh and he is an ass in real life! - Sun, 16 Nov 2003 2:08pm | ||

| Troutbreath User Info... | Hey now! To say Check Six has %100 viewership implies I watch that stupid station. They haven't had decent programming since Ida Clarkson retired! - Tue, 18 Nov 2003 6:18am | ||
| Broccoli User Info... | Dag Sharman? is that that late-night news guy who always looks stoned? I might be think'n of some van caster... - Wed, 19 Nov 2003 9:17am | ||
