Bonam Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 How does CBC get away with broadcasting results before all the polls have closed? Its by region. The broadcasts are not available in BC/Yukon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallc Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 How does CBC get away with broadcasting results before all the polls have closed? What do you mean? They can broadcast to your area. It's blacked out in BC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shady Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 What do you mean? They can broadcast to your area. It's blacked out in BC. Does a tv black out really mean anything with today's technology? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Steele Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I do have a question... aren't local newspapers/radios/TVs allowed to release results to locals...and as an American, would I be able to access this? On my Satellite system all the eastern networks are "not available for viewing in your area" until after the polls close in our time zone. In the 60s through the 80s most elections were over and decided before the polls closed in Winnipeg. Damn is good times have changed.

Smallc Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Does a tv black out really mean anything with today's technology? Yes actually, it does. Unless you're using certain black market technology. Everyone is reporting. Hell, they've been reporting in Newfoundland since the polls closed there at 7 your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjandrew Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Does a tv black out really mean anything with today's technology? No, but a $25000 fine speaks in all languages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNG Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Does a tv black out really mean anything with today's technology? I'm not the greatest computer or internet guru, but almost as a personal challenge, I have been working hard. Someone in this thread suggested surly beaver, and it sort of has worked, but I have tried to pull up streaming feeds from CBC and CTV stations in the east, and no-go. Even though I have done that in the past to listen to sports programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonam Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Does that apply to people residing in other countries? No, which is one of the reasons why the results have been readily available online for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August1991 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Dion is leading and in my various scenarios, his riding stayed Liberal. I wonder if he'll be interim leader after Ignatieff resigns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hardner Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 The Tories are doing better in Quebec than I expected. They may keep their seats here. The Tories are sprinting towards a majority with an NDP opposition and a decimated BQ. This election turned out to be a game changer after all.
