An old friend checked into Freddiep.ca this week. It's George Bryson who worked at Barries CKVR-TV before joining CFTO in the 90's before heading back to Barrie.
George works for Rogers now and checked in with this e-mail.
Hey Fred,
Just found your website recently and its great. I guess I must have been living on the moon or something.
Great to catch up on a lot of people I worked with and got to know during years in Barrie and Toronto. In this business people just seem to disappear.
Just an update on my situation, I got the escort out the front door at A-Channel in Barrie or what ever they are calling it this week (another re-branding is coming next spring or fall, you heard it here first). The stations move into Vaughan and York regions was a colossal failure, not surprisingly, and as a result, 22 of us got pink slipped.
After a great summer off I am now at Rogers Television reading news on our 6:00 cast. I'm having a great time moving from sports to news and am working about four or five hours a day. I love this semi retired life.
Just wanted to drop you a note and thank you for something you probably don't remember.
In the early 80's I applied for a sports job at CFNY. Didn't get it because you hired Mike Hanifin instead. Thank you. Things actually worked out for the better. It is not often we are happy about not getting a job.
Thank you for recognizing that I was completely under-qualified and un-talented for the job.
Again thanks for this site, it is great, and I will keep checking in.

I know a number of people that were victim to the same treatment by then the Chum media group. that whole channel is a joke
Its located in Barrie but covers very little news about Barrie
especially local sports
you can find out whats going on in Richmondhill or Newmarket but if you want to know whats going on in Barrie you need to listen to the Radio.
I am glad to see George land on his feet Even if it is for dink like Ted Rodgers

Who needs an hour of local news? What happens in Barrie overnight that requires an hour of A-Hole News. Bring back the 1/2 hour of News, weather and sports then seque into a Seinfeld episode, thats the only way Eh-Channel will survive.
