what's the big idea ?

So the good news is Rod Carley a guy from Canadore College in my home town of North Bay won TVO's Best Lecturer contest. The bad news is that right after the host introduced the footage of his lecture TVO cut to BLACK. And it's not like we lost the signal or the transmitter went caput coincidentally at that moment. There was still eventually a TVO water mark in the lower right frame. It was apparently on the topic of staging Shakespeare in a modern context, but I'll have to take their word for it that it was good. I'd like to lecture TVO about the blacked out picture and who might be operating the control room at head office. Hmmm.
