Evidence of the ever-exanding Chum network. I didn't realise they had such international ambitions. For how long has CityTV operated in Bogota?
For those unaware CityTV is just one label in the chum network, which runs a huge portion of Canadian media. I'm amazed that they would have spread to Colombia of all places.

pegwin says on Oct 31, 2005, 14:00: electric circus stupid question but are they still running this show in TO? (Electric Circus). CityTV here in Bogota is getting worse and worse. It started out with a bit of urban potential but it is really starting to smell.
