Welcome to TV Garth!

Ever since I was a kid, I loved antennas and TV reception. It was always a thrill to hook up an antenna and see what stations I could get, and see if I could pick up anything from a far distance. With the transition to digital broadcasting happening, my love for OTA (over the air) reception came back and this blog will focus on what channels I'm able to receive via antenna from my home just outside of Toronto, Canada. Plus there may be occasional commentaries on shows that I see while adjusting my reception.

Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day to all my TV Garth readers! Here are some pictoral reminders of just how resiliant we Canadian folk are!

We survived a disastrous G20 Summit that severely strained relations between the police and the general public. Seen via CBLT (RF20) with Muhammad Lila.

Yet none of this stopped Toronto from becoming fabulous and celebrating Gay Pride. (In fact, even Toronto Pride was engulfed in controversy this year, but was able to overcome those bumps in the road!) People came together to celebrate their differences, their diversity, and the event reminded us all to be proud of our lives!

A Canada Day recap would not be complete without a beautiful shot of Toronto, seen on CFTO (RF40)!

For a Canada Day bonus, here's some recent CanCon In The US:

During the show, Sarah McLachlan came out as a surprise guest to sing that obscure, rarely heard ballad Hallelujah.
