PersonaTV

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Unlike similar divisions such as Rogers Television or TV Cogeco, the branding of Persona TV channels may vary according to the market.

[edit] Persona News/News Channel

In Persona's largest markets, the primary community channel is branded as Persona News #, where # refers to the channel's placement on the cable dial. Persona News stations act as local news channels, airing a rotation of community-oriented news and public interest reports. Persona News Channel operations also broadcast their local city council meetings, and when not airing live programming or news reports, run a computer-generated bulletin board of events listings, weather and other news that can be delivered graphically.

Persona News stations air in the following markets:

• Greater Sudbury - Persona News 10
• Timmins - Persona News 3

These channels were originally named News Channel #, and were rebranded as Persona News in 2007.

The community channel in Hanover, Port Elgin and Listowel, Ontario is also branded as Persona 6 News.

The channel in Grande Prairie, Alberta has shifted away from a full news format; it retains the branding News Channel 7 for its news programming, but is branded as simply Channel 7 otherwise.

[edit] Real Estate

In Sudbury and Timmins, Persona also airs separate channels for local real estate and advertising listings. The channel in Sudbury is branded as Home & Market Television, while the channel in Timmins is branded as ClaimPost Realty.

[edit] MyTown

In smaller Persona markets, a more traditional community channel format, branded as MyTown, airs. MyTown stations also air local business advertising. The News Channel operations were also previously branded as MyTown.

MyTown stations air in the following markets:

• Elliot Lake - MyTown Elliot Lake
• Kapuskasing - MyTown Kapuskasing
• Kirkland Lake - MyTown Kirkland Lake
• Sauble Beach - MyTown Sauble Beach
• Temiskaming Shores - MyTown Temiskaming Shores
