Wow! Talk about bright and positive light taking place in Nanaimo. What with the Newcap bloodbath, including shutting down of newsrooms, and news staff, and here on the west coast, the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group under Rob Bye have launched this new service. Bravo!
I wasn’t aware that Nanaimo had “hyper local news,” …but nonetheless, I’m all in 🙂
Bookmarked-!
Great to read today’s fresh information on the proposed Downtown Vancouver to Nanaimo passenger-only fast ferry service.
Thanks, Nanaimo News Now (effective alliteration, btw).
Excellent move!
I believe Nanaimo recently lost its daily newspaper. Frankly, I’m surprised that the Victoria Times Colonist hasn’t established a Nanaimo bureau to increase its up-island circulation.
Jimmy P’s radio execs obviously figure there’s a viable market.
I give this project about a year of losing money… before Pattison kills it.
Broose, I couldn’t disagree with you more. I’d love to see the Q/Zone go up against the PAYWALL of the TimesColonist. Its doable, without a doubt.
It’s an excellent, well done service. I love it.
Cheers to Rob and his Nanaimo team.
