`This channel is indeed useless, and will continue to be.  Ever since it's first day of broadcast, the ``token`` ethnically-diverse newscasters were laughable. Now they don't do news, and the channel is officially worthless.  Something interesting that came out of Toronto1 and the CHUM deal was CityTV being given rights to broadcast Monday Night Football in 2005, which Toronto1 previously had rights to.  If this channel is around with it's current ``image`` in 10 years, I'll be flabbergasted. It should be scrapped and sold for parts. I'm sure there's someone out there who could use the frequency for, say, a 24 hour traffic channel? Or maybe a 24 hour stock ticker. I mean, at least people would *watch* those.  The pathetic thing about Toronto1, is despite all of it's failures, it was one of the FIRST channels (second only to CityTV) in Toronto to broadcast in ATSC (HDTV over UHF airwaves). Of course, no HDTV content except rebroadcasts of football from ABC. Even today, major players such as Global and OMNI1 still refuse to unveil this next-gen technology. Perhaps had Craig not spent so many millions of $ on HDTV equipment to comply with a CRTC deadline that was in the end lifted, they'd not in be such dire straits.   `
