Sun News' audience is tiny, but devoted and loves nothing more than filling up comment sections with tripe. This is why I follow @AvoidComments on Twitter.
Sun News went to the CRTC not too long ago begging for mandatory carriage and better channel placement - much to the amusement of those whose sense of irony is more developed than Alanis Morissette's. They were denied in that attempt. The channel has to be offered by cable/satellite providers, and on a low-level tier, but subscribing to it isn't mandatory. CTV News Network still exists, but it's primarily a Headline News-style operation. There are also some regional news networks. CP24 is great if only for the sheer magnitude and number of graphics they manage to put on-screen at once.
