As a Maritimer, I have fond memories of growing up with the show 'Live at 5' on CTV. It was like inviting the hosts into our homes for supper. This hour-long program, which ran from 5pm to 6pm, was an integral part of our evening routine and a staple for many households in Nova Scotia. The show focused on local stories of interest and entertainment, providing us with a unique blend of news that resonated with our community.

However, recently 'Live at 5', part of Atlantic News, has been reduced to a mere half-hour program running from 5pm-5:30pm. This change has disrupted our routines and deprived us of valuable local content that we've come to rely upon over many years.

We understand that programming decisions are complex but believe it is essential to restore 'Live at 5' back to its original one-hour format. We miss having this comprehensive source for local stories during supper time - it's not just about news; it's about preserving an important cultural tradition in Nova Scotia.

Therefore, we call upon Bell to reconsider their decision and restore 'Live at 5' back to its original duration - because traditions matter and so does local content! Please sign this petition if you agree.
