   I'm sure this was announced for weeks and we just missed the blurb. However it came as a shot to see that CLTV had "signed Off" on New Year's Day. We'd come to think of the station as a natural alternative to the big nationals. 

    We are very sorry to loose, what we'd grown to think of as, an "Oid Friend".
