‘ Letter

To the Editor; .

A Merit Award should go to

‘our local TV station, Their con-

cern for viewers’ health and.
fitness should be recognized.

-. How, you ask, does the TV
. Station demonstrate their con-

‘cern for my health and fitness?

By ‘airing re-runs. Re-runs
keep me from becoming a fitless
- couch potato.

' Because I have little free time .

" for TV, I choose my programs
carefully and wait patiently all
week for them. Then I often

_ tune in to find the station is re-~

running the same episode they

aired the previous week. Some’

episodes. I’ve seen so often I
know all the dialogue by heart.

Well, naturally, this early in.

the TV season I turn off the TV

and walk the dogs, take a bike -

ride, or sort the out-dated
newspapers for the. garbage.

I tried complaining to the TV
station about.the frequency of

‘re-runs, but they were unsym-
_pathetic; they blamed re-runs on

the . sloppy performance of
‘whoever pulled the tapes to be
shown.

‘So I sought the advertisers’

Support, but they were equally

unconcerned, at least the na-
tional companies. It -seems
advertisers buy a ‘‘package”’ of
so many TV. programs, therefore

“-. re-runs actually give them free
_ air time, a bonus for their adver-

’ tation.

tising budgets. |

Since the TV station —: with ne
its CRTC monopoly to serve. the °
_Tegion — isn’t perturbed with

my complaints about re-runs, I

can only conclude that viewers, .

their opinions and. their reac-
tions are unimportant to the TV

watch the programs they spon-
sor, L.can only conclude viewers
aren’t important to advertisers,
either.

Of course, when I was:put off

by both the TV station and the

national advertisers I spoke to,

my ego was battered. Aren’t .

viewers the important ingredient
in TV? And when they told me I

-was the first viewer ever to com-

plain to them about too:
frequent re-runs, I began to

-wonder if I was the only viewer

to feel put out by a TV station
that. serves me last week’s fare
with the okay of a sponsor who

‘doesn't seen to care how his pro-
_Spective customers are treated.

Clearly [ can’t change the at-
titude or performance of-the TV
station. Not being a subscriber, I
can’t even threaten to cancel
cable. But I can push the “Off”
switch, and do business only
with companies who don’ tspon-
sor re-runs, at least this early in
the TV season.
