Last spring, Ocean Falls joined the outside world by receiving the long awaited event of television. The station is privately owned and receives "delayed" or "canned" programs from Terrace not being on "live" micro circuit as yet. We get a variety of receptions being plagued with poor pictures and poor sound, no sound good pictures or just no sound and no pictures. However, these will, in due time be properly put in order and of course the terrain of this area is no asset to good reception.

The Terrace station has asked the CBC to give them a commitment as to when they can expect live televison hook-up, but to date CBC has not given them an answer.
