The same can be also said for CBC Vancouver, they don't want to lose even more of their viewership to other local stations. But above all, CBC Vancouver is quite bitter that they're not broadcasting the Games.

Did anyone notice CityTV was missing ANY live & on-the-street Olympic coverage (except for 'Olympic updates' during commercial breaks and Breakfast TV). That's what you get when you gut all the local live shows and import your 'international news' and 'local news' shows from Toronto on tape-delay. I'm using one hand to count down the years left before CityTV has no more on-air people in Vancouver and it becomes a local repeater of Toronto's CityTV.
Does anyone even notice CityTV anymore?
