ALT A screenshot of Shawgers' (multi-locality) PMX XD serving greater Winnipeg in a Local Forecast sequence during the 11:00 PM ET (or "MBT") hour on The Weather Network, at 11:00:07 PM, on its opening Radar segment. The radar frame's time displayed in the banner SHOULD be 10:40 PM, but something has gone wrong and instead is showing the time in UTC instead ("3:40am", 5 hours ahead of ET/MBT), rather than the local time. (Cropped almost entirely, but to further the point about no ECCC bulletins in the LDL, at the time of this LF, a yellow-level fog advisory is in effect at the time of this screenshot across this PMX XD's entire served area, in fact, all of southern Manitoba.)

ALT A screenshot of the national satellite feed of The Weather Network, also during the same 11:00 PM ET Local Forecast sequence, 20:00:57 PT in the top left time area (which rotates through Canadian time zones given its national reach) and a Radar segment for the Prairies and northwestern Ontario. As of today, PT is observed by nobody in Canada, with the Yukon Territory having moved to permanent MST some time ago already, and British Columbia also moving to permanent MST as of today (or "PCT"). The same issue with the time in the Radar banner as in the previous screenshot persists, showing a "3:00am" time in UTC. (The satellite feed normally shows ET for Radar segments no matter which part of the country is being shown during the LF.)

ALT An electronic program guide (Zap2it/Gracenote) for the Winnipeg designated market area (DMA) from 7:00 PM CT through 9:59 PM CT on October 28th. Only one municipal election program OTA is shown on the CBC from 8 PM through 10 PM. On air on CKY, The Amazing Race, which is also being shown on CBS (on WCCO, based out of Minnesota). Channel numbers correspond to those available through Rogers' non-Xfinity IPTV/QAM cable. Background reading on the CRTC's simultaneous substitution (simsub) policy, which it continues to maintain despite vocal opposition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simultaneous_substitution

ALT An electronic program guide (Zap2it/Gracenote) for the Toronto DMA from 7:00 PM ET through 9:59 PM ET today. There are two municipal election programs OTA on the CBC from 7 PM ET through 10 PM ET and also on CHCH but from 9 PM ET through 11 PM ET, plus a bonus cable network program on CityNews 24/7. On air on CFTO instead, The Voice, which is also being shown on NBC (which would be simsubbing WGRZ out of Buffalo, NY). Channel numbers correspond to those available through Rogers' non-Xfinity IPTV/QAM cable. Toronto being referred to as a "have" market because it has CP24, which although it isn't pictured, is where CTV's election coverage is being dumped onto instead.

ALT An electronic program guide (Zap2it/Gracenote) for the Ottawa DMA from 7:00 PM ET through 9:59 PM ET today. There are, count them, ZERO municipal election programs available OTA. Not even the CBC, and no, that isn't an error. This leaves just the same cable network program on CityNews 24/7. On air on CJOH instead, The Voice, which is also being shown on NBC (which would be simsubbing WGRZ out of Buffalo, NY once again). Ottawa could also be classified as a "have" market because it has a CTV2 station that election coverage could be dumped onto instead, but instead, NFL football between The Cowboys! and the Philadelphia Eagles (which would be simsubbing WKBW, again out of Buffalo). Channel numbers correspond to those available through Rogers' non-Xfinity IPTV/QAM cable.
