During the 1990s, CKNW made a gradual transition from a mixed format of news, sports, talk shows and MOR music (which it had since dropping its original country music format in the 1960s) to its current format of full-time news, talk and sports by the end of the decade.
CKNW failed, prior to filing the allegation, to directly ask Premier Harcourt if the substance of their allegation was correct and report on his response.
Macdonald, as CKNW News Director, is assigning reporters to cover the same story that he is an integral part of, as well as coverage of the Premier and provincial government, leaving at least a perception of bias.
In conclusion, I believe that CKNW and its employees have made a series of decisions which have resulted in a perception of bias against the Premier of the province and his government that have caused the public to question the station's journalistic integrity.
