Star Ray TV

December 21, 2005 Press Release

For immediate release, Toronto:

From what we can gather the so smart and so slick Grinches are using a bogus complaint by a fictitious person as justification to delay Star Ray's application one year. The CRTC would make the Grinch smile most unpleasant! The complainant "Mason Baxley" cannot be found in Canada by any Internet or phone directory search and used an anonymous Hotmail email account to deliver his complaint for channel 13 not even 15!

Secondly the nimble, sly Grinches are reneging on their deal to allow SRTV to transmit non-programming material during the disposition of our application. This means the fibbing Grinches cannot be trusted to uphold their word but this is nothing new in Who-ville (Ottawa). Remember the CRTC Grinches hated Star Ray TV since 1997, this lastest Grinchy trickery is nothing new.

Thirdly the sour, frowning Grinches had an Industry Canada Inspector inadvertently violate Jan Pachul's privacy rights by using information gathered during a request for assistance regarding an unrelated complaint. At no time was Jan notified that he was the target of Industry Canada's investigation. This is why a name is blacked out in the Grinchy letter; this name is withheld by Jan Pachul at the Inspector's request. We accept his explanation that was not aware that he was being used in such a grinch-ish-ly manner.

Star Ray TV's reply to the slithering, growling Grinches can be found at: http://tochat.tv/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8

Star Ray TV wishes everyone except the sneering CRTC Grinches a joyful holiday season and a happy new year!
