The board of directors in a statement said “this has been a difficult decision,” but they “feel that this offer is in the best interest of all CRTV members.”

Cable 10 aired an interview with CRTV President John Kerr on Monday evening on the matter. Other airing times will be available on The Wheel (Channel 30).
