CHCH PUTS NEWS ON THE INTERNET
By Adnews Staff
CHCH-TV of Hamilton started putting its evening news on its Internet site yesterday. Currently program scripts are available on the site, but eventually there will be live news reports, packaged sports videos and weather segments, in full motion video and audio. CHCH-TV's home page address is <http://www.chch.com>. CHCH went on-line in June, running the history of the station and its parent company, WIC Western International Communications, along with updated program information and data on various CHCH departments. On-air personalities and the station's management team are profiled and the public can communicate with them via e-mail. Browsers can participate in contests at the site and shop for CHCH-TV clothing. They can also hook up to other TV sites on the Web or call up weather and travel information, as well as information about the NFL, NHL and NBA. They can also get to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunication home page, as well as to TV news archives around the world.
