Editing Stompin' Tom Connors (section)

===Dispute with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation===
According to Connors' promoter, Brian Edwards, the CBC had expressed interest for Connors to do a music special since 1990.<ref name="Rocklands">[http://www.stompintom.com/whatsnew/snubbed_by_cbc.html "Stompin' Tom Snubbed by CBC TV"] (press release by Brian Edwards, Rocklands Entertainment Inc., Peterborough Ontario), 2006</ref> Connors shot and edited a live concert presentation at Hamilton Place at a cost of over $200,000 of his own money in September 2005. Edwards said that a copy was presented to the CBC's head of TV variety and that he received a reply the next day telling him that a decision would be reached within a few weeks. After 10 weeks, another email was then sent to the newly appointed programming VP, and a prompt reply came back that said that the broadcaster was moving away from music and variety programming and that the Connors special did not fit with its strategy.

Edwards said that he received another letter from the CBC that reinforced its lack of interest in the concert special but said that Connors would have been a great guest to perform a song on the network's ''[[Hockeyville]]'' series or an excellent subject for a ''[[Life and Times (TV series)|Life and Times]]'' project. In response, Connors said:

{{Blockquote|As far as I'm concerned, if the CBC, our own public network, will not reconsider their refusal to air a Stompin' Tom special, they can take their wonderful offer of letting me sing a song as a guest on some other program and shove it.<ref name="Rocklands" />

Ultimately, the film was released on DVD as ''Stompin' Tom In Concert'' by [[EMI]] in 2006.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.discogs.com/release/13466736-Stompin-Tom-Stompin-Tom-in-Live-Concert | title=Stompin' Tom - Stompin' Tom in Live Concert | website=[[Discogs]] | date=2006 }}</ref> The soundtrack was released posthumously on CD<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.discogs.com/release/13817145-Stompin-Tom-Connors-Stompin-Tom-in-Live-Concert-Soundtrack | title=Stompin' Tom Connors - Stompin' Tom in Live Concert (Soundtrack) | website=[[Discogs]] | date=2014 }}</ref> at the same time as a DVD & Blue Ray re-issue by [[Universal Music Canada]] in 2014.<ref name="discogs.com">{{cite web | url=https://www.discogs.com/master/1976677-Stompin-Tom-Stompin-Tom-in-Live-Concert | title=Stompin' Tom - Stompin' Tom in Live Concert | website=[[Discogs]] | date=2006 }}</ref>
