The proxy war between CanWest Global Communications Corp. and CHUM Ltd. in Victoria is escalating. The first shot was fired when CHUM raided CH Television's newsroom, capturing anchor-thingy Hudson Mack and reporter Moira McLean. CanWest Global retaliated by announcing they wouldn't be participating in any community events sponsored by CFAX, which is now owned by CHUM. And now we've learned Times Colonist editor-in-chief Andrew Phillips has had to cancel CFAX broadcaster Joe Easingwood's column due to the deteriorating relationship between the two companies.

No more Easingwood? Just goes to prove that sometimes even collateral damage is an absolutely fantastic thing.
Now that Steven Andrew has jumped to CHUM/NewVI+CFAX from SHAW I wonder if Shaw will enter into the fray and stop splicing the newVI into their Cables.... probably wishful thinking
