Shaw, Saskatchewan media, team up to raise crystal meth awareness


SASKATOON – Canadian broadcaster Keith Morrison, a former Saskatoon broadcaster who now works for NBC in Los Angeles, is coming back to the Prairie province to host Crystal Meth: Toxic Speed, a one-hour, open line program which will be broadcast live on Sunday, February 12 from 6 to 7 p.m. on Shaw TV as well as most other media outlets in the province.

Spearheaded by Shaw Communications, the program will be hosted and moderated by Morrison, and a primary panel of four will facilitate a meaningful discussion with a live studio audience of experts and interested parties. Viewer and listener participation from across the province will be encouraged through a toll-free phone number.

"The only way to lessen the effects this deadly drug has on our communities is through education and awareness," said Peter Bissonnette, president of Shaw Communications Inc. "Shaw is proud to unite in such an innovative way with our media partners in Saskatchewan to truly drive the message home about the dangers surrounding this drug," he said.

In addition to being broadcast on Shaw TV Saskatoon, the program will also be carried throughout the province on other broadcast networks such as Access Communications, SCM, CTV as well as most radio stations.

The program is also supported by Rotary Clubs of Saskatoon.
