IT’S BEEN A YEAR LIKE no other in the Canadian cable, radio, television and telecom sectors. While you can say that about any year really, this one seemed a little rougher than others.
There’s been no shortage of bad news of late, lots of lost jobs and struggles by many to deal with the challenges we in media and telecom face constantly. It means a melancholy holiday season for many. We’ll be thinking of them over our break.
However, there has also been a lot of good news and growth and reasons for optimism – so we’re hoping for a sunnier 2016. We always open our news for the year with coverage of the huge Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas where John Bugailiskis will be on hand to see all the new gizmos and whatnots – and then report for Cartt.ca readers first hand what trends he can identify for those working in this industry in Canada. We're the only publication which does that.
So, while today’s newsletter will be the final one until we return on January 5th, you’ll still see big news posted when it happens. If you have a login issue, someone will be able to answer your questions, but we’re taking some time off and we hope you all enjoy a Merry Christmas, or Happy Hanukkah or a fantastic Festivus or whatever celebration is your favourite at this time of year.
And to all, a Happy New Year in 2016!
