There are a bunch of different reasons being given to us as to why the show has been cancelled. CTV says it's because of low ratings. Alliance says that it's because of lack of money. Some people who work for the show say it's because the CRTC believes that the show it too Asian and not Canadian enough. It makes it difficult to know what to believe.
I've put a list of addresses together where we can write to. It seems that it is very important that we let the CRTC, CTV and Alliance know how we feel about the show's demise. I'm also putting addresses of other Canadian TV stations in case they want to take over the show knowing what a strong following it has.
When writing a letter, keep in mind that snail mail is better than e-mail. It is also better to be concise and polite. No one is going to want to read a long-winded, rude letter. Just let them know how much you like the show and that you would like to see it's return.
If you see OAT in another country it might be a good idea to write to the station that you see it on there as well.
