The onslaught wins...

Two weeks ago, when CBC Ottawa first broke the news of Rogers decision to no longer take PBS programming from WPBS in Watertown, reporter Kate Porter spoke to a company spokesperson. The spokesperson told her that Rogers had thought long and hard about the decision to air the Detroit PBS affiliate in Ottawa, rather than the one from northern New York. But it told her the decision was final. Well we here at the Ottawa Blog predicted an onslaught of angry viewers writing to Rogers. And an onslaught is what Rogers got. Today it changed its mind. Rogers customers in Ottawa will continue to get WPBS in Watertown. Thing is, one wonders why Rogers couldn't see this one coming? Maybe the folks at Rogers believe there's no such thing as bad publicity.
