E-Brandon...Brandon's "only" online news source???
6/16/2009 at 1:50 AM
As many of you know, I am a Brandonite now living in Saskatchewan. I like to keep up with news and events happening at home, as with my previous job I got to know many, many people who still do things in Brandon. When it comes to local news, I pretty much have to rely on E-Brandon to get my morning fix.
CKXTV.COM - CKX hasn't updated their site for at least a month now, as that same story has been up there since May long. They rarely put any news on there. Very unreliable, and if this is how they're running their website, I wonder how long the station will really last (I like seeing current CKX clips on E-Brandon!)
BRANDONSUN.COM - You need a subscription...Not feasible for someone living 700 km away.
CKLQ.COM, Manitoba Net - Never any pictures and too brief. They are good for summarized stories, and are usually the most current.
POLICE WEBSITE - I'm not really interested in crime stories.
All I can say is if it wasn't for E-Brandon, I'd be out of touch with my hometown.
