Tragically, no Hip concert broadcast in park: Lovatt By Ali Raza 19 | Stouffville Sun-Tribune | Thursday, July 28, 2016 Notice of Completion and Comment Period Your community, your say. aliraza@yrmg.com There will be no live stream of CBC's broadcast of The Tragically Hip concert in Stouffville. Town Councillor Iain Lovatt announced on his Facebook page that the cost was too much for the town to bear, despite local businesses offering to subsidize costs which is not permitted under CBC's terms of contract. "For all the Stouffville Hip fans out there who have been requesting the concert be played in Memorial Park, we have some definitive bad news," Lovatt posted. "Along with the $15K price tag, subsidizing the costs aren't allowed." Lovatt also mentioned local business owners seeking to cut costs by sponsoring the event. He posted CBC's reply to the inquiry. "Thank you for your interest in sponsoring the live streaming of The Tragically Hip concern on August 20," CBC's reply says. "Upon reviewing the terms set by CBC, it appears that we are unable to offset expenses for this event through sponsorship or ticket sales of any kind. Further, third party promotion is also not permitted under the terms of the contract." Councillor Hugo Kroon replied to Lovatt's "So might also want to go to your local, grab a pint or two and support your hometown businesses."
