Mad Avenue Blues

With the advent of free online news there something had to give. And unfortunately we are seeing the outcome of that now as companies such as CTV, Canwest Global and even the government supported CBC, struggle to update their business model so they can keep the news flowing.

There isn't much in the way of solutions to this issue - I certainly don't have the answer - but at least someone has written a fun parody song outlining the situation main stream media finds themselves currently in. Enjoy the song while hundred-year-old news organizations nervously laugh themselves into a huddled crying heap!
