With Global on the verge of selling of some tv stations I think this would be a great opportunity for the left to get some national presence. The red deer station looks like a good choice as it's right smack in the middle of Alberta (red neck tory land supreme).

I would make it a super station and place it on satellite as a specialty channel...just think an in your face left channel providing real competition against right wing garbage tv.
