Protest accepted Frank Howard, MLA for Skeena, said that BCTV obtained the ex- clusive rights to televise the B.C. Winter Games as a result of a govern- ment decision and that any protests or represen- tations related thereto should be directed to the provincial government. While Ron Butlin is the man in the ‘‘front line’? our anger should ‘not be directed to him for he was simply an agent for the government and carrying out govern- ment policy, Howard noted. - He added, ‘‘Not only was it a decision of the provincial government to give BCTV exclusive live broadcasting rights to the Games’’ to the pos- sible detriment of CFTK but I cannot find any legal authority for the government’s action. It seems to me that the government was playing favorites and possibly denying viewers in this area the opportunity to see the Games broadcast live over a local televi- sion station. Even if the granting of the exclusive rights has some legal foundation it seems to be discriminatory and in my estimation tends to show favouritism. Any protests or representations which I receive will be sent im- mediately and directly to the government. In fact I would urge those who have any thoughts about the government’s action to contact our consti- tuency office whose phone number and ad- dress is in the Kitimat- Terrace telephone direc- tory, said Howard. fahtteww Atenas Adrienne Scherdevin of Ter- race, competes in figure skating.
