Silverman Helps No More

Man thats the worst !
I love Silverman

Sad how CTV is raping City

TV stations change and programs also change.

The sad thing is that Rogers has been making changes
for the worse not the better. Unless they think of
some consumer program like Marketplace and air it on a weekly basis.

Has anyone noticed that Hour Town, The Mayor and The Chief have all disappeared from CP24 or is it summer break for these programs?

CITY needs to rethink its newscasts and come up with a better and less annoying product. I still stick wtih CBC for my news. Global is totally a waste of time and CTV isn't much to look at either.

Rogers doesn't seem to be doing much except become a broadcast annoyance.

Please note that it's not CTV making these decisions, it's Rogers. Rogers owns CityTV not CTV.

Please note that it's not the author making the error, it's a commenter. Commenter made the error, not the author. ;)

<i>Peter Silverman joins Amber MacArthur on the list of surprising cuts</i>
Then I will wait on Silverman's response to this post on this page.

@ Someone <i>Please note that it's not CTV making these decisions, it's Rogers. Rogers owns CityTV not CTV.</i>
That's what they want you to think. Seems like your falling for it.

Retirement or not, just like that - no more Silverman helps? Who am I going to turn to for help when I get screwed over? JoJo Chintoh?

JoJo Chintoh?

He's not young either.

Also on the list, Marilyn Denis, host of CityLine

Sad news - the guy is an icon, I am getting really annoyed by Rogers, its corporate greed and tired of seeing their logo plastered all over Toronto wherever you turn. I wish Silverman all the best and hope he will join another station soon. He could have retired years ago but he truly enjoys what he does for living and helping other people.

Rogers is a fucking virus. They're turning City TV into a dead corpse...

Silverman was probably investigating Rogers for screwing someone over.

It's sad to watch the personality ripped out of that station. The day it moves from Queen street is the day that station is buried.

Ted Rogers is a miserable old out of date prick. Anyone read the story in The Star last week? He's the real life Monty Burns.

Don't screw with my boy Frankie Flowers...Trust me, you should see my garden because of that guy's advice!

So by buying CityTV they get the spectrum of the analog airwaves that CityTV was broadcasting on (which is 700mhz?).

I can't stand Silverman Helps. He's an extremely rude and arrogant man.

Broadcasting on that frequeny doesn't give them any advtantage when the spectrum opens up.

Stupidest decision EVER...WTF is going on over at City?? I honestly don't get it. Even firing Harold and replacing him with that dork Michael Kuss...another stupid decision. Wouldn't be surprised if Rogers just cut the 6pm newscast to 30mins once they move to their new building (and replace the other 30 mins with quality programming, such as "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" :X)

I can't understand Rogers short sightedness, unless gutting the life out of the former media sensation is exactly what the directors want.
Maybe, by removing everything that made CityTV unique, they hope to gradually throttle the station, pissing the former audience away until after this "date" that's been mentioned about the 700 mhz passes, and then Rogers will sell the station again.
Won't be much left, but it will have served it's corporate masters purpose of national domination.
Knew this was a fracking bad idea. Still can't believe the CRTC allowed it to be.

Any bets that CITY TV gets it's name changed to Rogers TV?

How come nobody ever mentions my name when they are talking about the amazing talent that has left City TV? Do you know how many hands I sat on for that station? I was the fitness master. As far as I'm concerned it was over for that station when I left.

Remember eat right and exercise.

Rogers is cleaning house and shaking things up and in the process fixing what ain't broke. It's a shame.

silverman can always create a blog like yours and sell online banner ads to make both ends meet

Is Jojo Chintoh a very high-paid personality at City? (relatively speaking)

test

Oh man, I actually liked Silverman Helps! Personally, I like the friendly banter between the anchors on Global, although it doesn't work for everyone when thinking back to first year bcast history. (Wow can you not love Leslie Roberts though?) Harold was definitely a great weather man and asset to City. Michael's not bad, but I liked him much better when he was on Global.

i can't believe all this corporate shenanigan bullshit. both rogers and CTV don't belong at the corner of queen st. and john, just like how Home Depot don't belong in west queen st. west and WalMart in Leslieville. it's great that they're trying to attract younger audience to watch the news and care about the world around them, but geez, do you have to get rid of the news veterans whose efforts and talents make up the backbone of their news channel? and this idea of replacing the vets with the young and inexperience, does that really make a big whooping difference?! then why the hell did they cancel 'webnation' on CITY? as i remember, the host of that show was young and attractive. was it because they feel threatened that a woman can have the looks and the brains?on a similar note, i hate MUCH MUSIC. the VJs in the past actually brought out the best in covering the music scene and challenged audience with some thought provokative stories and shows. now, MUCH is nothing much. george, rick, hannah, and the rest of the gang is replaced by nothing but bad boob jobs and a whole lotta trashy shows. if MUCH's targeted audience is the youths, then for god sakes, leah, wear something that isn't just a small piece of cloth! none of the VJs are remotely close to being good role models for kids these days.

I always liked Silverman helps.....UNTIL I had the misfortune to meet him. He's arrogant and rude and I say "GOOD RIDDANCE". Imagine what it's like to work with someone like that. No wonder they fired him.

Silverman wasn't all that good, I'm not glad he's gone, but I won't miss him. Same with Marilyn Denis. Citytv has needed a facelift for a while now, and hopefully after this exodus they'll provide something worthwhile. Not holding my breath though.

CityTV has lost its soul. They probably had to budget for 85 more weather trackers for that tool Kuss.

I am so shocked that Rogers would take such a step. Now all the crooks can run free, cheating the little people.Thanx Rogers for your service...

This is some sad news. I interned with the Silverman Helps Unit for three months. The staff was excellent and extremely supportive.
They didn't see this one coming, and I'm completely disgusted by how Rogers has dropped this from the CityTV newscast. The staff that produced this weekly feature pulled together a great product each and every week.
They just weren't fluff stories that a hot chick could pull off just by smiling at the camera. These stories were had emotion, touched lives and pulled the audience into them.
Plain and simple, since Rogers moved in things have taken a turn for the worse. I never liked Rogers anyway.
Thanks for letting me express my thoughts. And thanks to Cris, Peter and Terry for making such the newsroom such an enjoyable experience for me.

confirmation of Speaker's Corner demise...

Too many changes @ Citytv. No wonder they are in 3rd place, sometimes in 4th behind CBC @ 6pm. My friend saw Leslie Roberts shopping in Yorkville with his partner 2 wks ago. Global news is very dull, CFTO is the best in T.O.

just wondering if silvermenis still helping people off line cause i could use some help.

OKAY first off..you people are ignorant and do not know all the facts. When CITY was bought by Rogers...and CP24 BOUGHT BY CTV...there was a lot of grey areas..ie who owns what talent..as a result there have been many issues that both stations have to resolve. Marilyn Denis was a CTV property/name...so of course it has to leave CITY. Its not their tv property. You also dont know the details of silverman. If the property was under CP24..of course Rogers cant run it (Dont know details of silverman)...Pls try to be a little more educated about things. You cant connect CP24 and CITY anymore..they are different!

Soon CP24 wont even carry any of the CITY tv content ie: breakfats television...

If Silverman was a CTV property, then why isn't he on CP24 still? He was let go.
City and CP24 were a part of CHUM, so both stations were across the spectrum of that company. Most personalities air on both stations. Even if they split one way or the other, they still should be with one company or another.

The sale of CHUM however was stupid to begin with anyways. CTV is a worthless company that only hijacks American shows on their main network non-stop.

Was that City TV memo written by a twelve year old? Wait, make that a spoiled rotten ungrateful piece of shit twelve year old?

This is the most disturbing news Mr. Silverman! I connected with your news stories in being the champion to those people who were voiceless before you and your amazing team helped! I am disgusted that Mr. T hasn't one ounce of your class! I no longer beleive what Roger's now owns represents the heart of our city..that was lost a very long time ago. I don't watch any of it anymore, boring, shameless, tasteless, oh did I mention flat and BORING? Shame, Shame, Shame on you Mr T! You are incredibly stupid! Who are your advisor's??!! Listen, how about if you need some help,give me a call and I will have my four children help you make these very "grown-up difficult decision's" for you!! My kids make better decision's than you do! We miss Tonya Rouse! We miss Peter Silverman! We think Dr. Carl Kapasalis is a genuine creep! Please keep our beloved Kevin on BT, not what's her name? Dina??!
Call me Ted, seriously, you need the help.

CTV News is by far the best newscast in Toronto but I will admit that I am very sad to hear this news. Mr. Silverman had a great segment that helped people in need. CityNews/CP24 is getting worse. Everyday you switch it on there are new hosts, who for the most part are young pretty women. There is no diversity as there used to be. Don't get me started on Michael Kuss he is the most BORING and inaccurate weather man I have ever seen. Dave Duvall may be older but he is 10000x better than him. What about Lagogianes?? Didn't they fire him?? He is so monotone and dull they should have never brought him back. This is really turning into a mess.

Sorry to tell you but Peter was Gay and that's why they kick him out.

HI PETER SLIVERMAN HOW LONG WHERE YOU AT CITY TV

terrible decision, please reconsider, silverman is one of the most natural honest journalist city has.

Yeah City TV sucks. It was always crap, same as Rogers. Do people forget that Rogers was the only available cable tv company around for all those years before Satellite came into the picture? They screwed us all over, now all of a sudden when they lost millions and millions of dollars from unsatisfied customers jumping at the chance to get away from Rogers and go to Satellite tv, they start working on their customer service skills. Now they are back in action with clever advertising and taking over the city. Sky Dome is the Rogers Centre? How stupid. Rogers and City TV suck.
The only thing good about City TV was Silverman helps and that segment was the only reason I turned to City TV. No reason to watch it anymore. Rogers and City TV are nothing to me.

silverman gone......that sucks!

it really sucks that he is gone cause he could probably really help me with the bad renovations i went threw i have story for him that would make his head spin who would you turn to without him

I have a story on Ford that Peter would be very interested in, Who do we turn to now for help.
Go figure a good guy like that had to leave and you are left with garbage.

I contacted Peter Silverman with a complaint against the Al Green sculpture studio www.citysculpture.net for not providing me with the service that I paid for and for the abuse I had to endure from those animals. George Farmer the mold maker, told me that I would be doing him and everybody there a huge favor if I packed up all of my stupid sculptures and fucking action figures and left, because they are all garbage as he put it. That studio ripped me off! I paid over 500 bucks for service that I did not receive. As well as being put down by the mold maker while he dropped the F-bomb on me and made some very personal insults. And Peter Silverman just ignored me. Silverman helps was nothing more then a fraud. fuck you Peter Silverman! and fuck you Iceman_Cometh for deleting my complaints on the City TV forum.

Its sad that "Silverman helps" has come to an end. I came online to obtain his contact information in hopes of helping me. He was a strong man and a good example of how bad people get put in their place. I hope they (TV station) rethinks about this decision and continue to have silverman helps back on tv.

All the more reason to boycott corporate ownership of anything. They don't care about people... only profit and their shareholders. Wanna make a difference? Cancel your cable... why would you support Rogers by giving them your money every month?

That is wrong .. We need to have "Sliverman's Help". He has teached our society that unjustice is not tolerated in Toronto or in anyother city.

He teaches us that there are still people that cares.

Akua Ntiamoah

CITY is becoming THE worst station on air.
They keep people WAY beyond their appeal.. and they become OLD in more than age. Is anyone else so SICK of Gord's voice.. yeeech!!
Frankie Flowers should stick to flower news.. his dismal little idiot face makes me SICK and he and that dumb female ( Kevin's FAT gut is a disgrace!!...) have ruined what used to be a palatable Breakfast show.. I don't watch it anymore.
They are SO lazy there.. replaced Movies with re-re-reRuns of OC.. re-runs of 30 rock,, What is wrong with them??

I am very sorry to hear this but where can we get help now that the program doesn't exit. I myself need is help right now and you guys are telling me that Mr. ASilverman's program cancel. I need his help very badly. IF YOU READ THIS COMMENT PLEASE GET BACK TO ME AT THE EMAIL ADDRESS, I WILL BE LOOKING OUT FOR YOUR REPLY.

G. Williamson and S. Marfise are landlord's horror stories that will make every landlord’s toes curl.

What’s the worst case scenario if you decide to become a landlord?

None paying tenants?

Damage to the fixtures and fittings?

A huge cleaning bill?

None payment for utilities bills?

Thrown in jail?

Extortion?
You might think so – it’s unlikely that you’ll ever have to go through what I have been through.

Checking out tenants in advance is all well and good but where does a landlord turn when the horror has already begun and they're faced with the dread task of trying to get rid of a tenant who won't pay up, but refuses to leave?

This can be a truly daunting challenge and it's one which we can recall with some bitterness, Getting rid of my troublesome tenants became a real nightmare.
go to my web site and you could read people who were scammed by these to professional tenants

Peter Silverman - Top nothch guy. He sat in a small 4th Floor office covered in paper, research and an onslaught of other peoples hardships. Peter turned a lot of those hardships in to winning results and helped so many people. I helped him with a small computer problem as part of my job and he told me if I ever need anything to give him a call. Calling Silverman!!! We need Silverman Helps!

i havve been screwed over by cp auto for 21000 and my wife is stressed over it who can i turn to please help sincerely greg

Who do I complain to about a Jeep I bought two weeks ago that has been a nightmare since I bought it. The dealership is giving me (senior citizen) the royal run around first they lost the key only gave me one. Second sold me a V8 I wanted a V6. Third windshield had a crack they said I did it cost me 60.00 to have it fixed now they need to replace the sway links because there is a clunk said they will do that and get me another key well will wait and see also after I paid for it had my mechanic look it over and out of my own pocket had to pay 600.00 to have it broght up to spec I am thoroughly disgusted with that smooth talking salesman who just wanted to get rid of the car and unload it even although he kept saying he wasn't making any money out of this sale and etc. etc. etc. Thanks.

I'm currently stuck in a really bad situation and wanted Silverman's help to document how I the consumer is being exploited and victimized at a Honda dealership.Long story short, I've signed some documents for credit approval to finance a car but at the time it wasn't explained fully to me what I was signing.When i finally went through the paper I signed on my own. I realized I got screwed because the things they had promised to give me as a deal wasn't there in writing.I'm a 22yrd old female, came in the dealership and basically got played by the salesman. Now, the so called contract is dated the 5th of October when infact I had signed on OCtober 1st. Now before they even approve my credit and make delivery of the vehicle, I want to cancel the contract because I feel very misled. But twice I went in and they had treated me like shit.The sales manager refused my right to cancel saying "You will lose your deposit and I don't feel like canceling the contract..go excercise your right elsewhere." and he kicked me and my friend out of the premise. But then decided to gang up with his sales buddy and followed us out into the parking lot and threatened to beat my friend for his so-called "attitude" with him. All this while they wait for October 5th to arrive so they can legally bind me to the contract that I don't want. I need Silverman! and other consumers who wants to buy a car needs to know what they're getting themselves into when purchasing a new vehicle at Classic Honda.Anyone have a suggestion who else could help me?

This is really sad to see them cut Silverman!! He was one of the few people left in this world that cares for the little people and stands up for them!! What is this world coming to??

Does anyone know how I can get in touch with Tonya Rouse? I need her assistance. (And I miss her show!).

I hate Rogers. I hate CTV. CityTV is now garbage. Illuminati crush people dead.

Brought our truck to Milton Chrysler - they dropped it off their hoist. They refuse to pay. They claim it was OLD, it had metal fatigue. Problem was, this truck is too heavy for their lift, and it was improperly secured. We were told by the dealership, count yourself lucky nobody got hurt? (what a threat for their own mistake)... ya lucky nobody got hurt, they would have been shut down. They also claimed they could not repair the damages (even temporarily). but they were in a hurry to sell us a new vehicle ($20K more expensive than other dealerships). We asked.. because this is a working vehicle, can you lend us a vehicle temporarily.. we were told.. they can Lease a vehicle but we have to pay? (I'll make you a great deal).. we were also told.. well just use your mini van.. ya its under lease.. crank up the milage and we get screwed again. Funny - we brought it elsewhere.. it cost us $ 4000.. but she's working? We purchased a new truck elsewhere.. it cost us $ 5000 less than list price? Go figure.. where is their legal responsibility / accountability. They took responsibility to fix this car, they damaged it.. aren't they responsible (to a degree)? Lovely!

Wrong move City TV. God forbid you have some one who actually cares about others and Does something about it, by all means put those cheesy live TV shows on instead we all need to know what its like to be Canada's next top model! NOT!

Silverman is a thug - I'm glad he's gone.

Corporations and big business like Rogers who own City-TV can only make money if there is someone there to buy their product.
City-TV happens to be that product . If no body watches City-TV, then now one at Rogers will make any money...
Stop watching the garbage that City-TV has nowadays and they will change, hopefully back to what it once was, News, Movies, Music....The customer (viewer) is always right...

Happy thanksgiving

we wish to have Peter Silverman back to the show. we really need his service.

it looks like Silverman stepped on the toes of "the establishment" He should go out and do it on his own. I loved that part of CityTv and now I no longer watch it.
