Two All American Points "Aboot" Canada and the CBC :

1 - Lets see the the Demographics of Canada is changing
and the CBC is making changes to better serve those
new Demographics. The Canadian People of 2007.

2 - The CBC 'exists' to Serve the People of Canada with
Daily News, Information and Entertainment that is current
and up-to-date. OK so is this the : 1950s, 1960s, 1970s,
1980s or even the 1990s : No it is the Year 2007 and this
Ain't Your Old (Oh) Canada ! Any More [.]

The CBC used to have some programs in the arts that were directed to
the small minority that enjoyed them. The private broadcasters would
never put on plays or concerts so it was left up to the CBC to provide
this type of program in parts of their schedule. Although Canada is
changing with heavy immigration, some immigrants would like this type
of programming too. Their main ethnic interests are well served by
many private broadcasters.
I know youth must be served, but does hip-hop noise have to replace
Venture? Does Little Mosque on the Prairie have to replace the
symphony? Shouldn't mature people also be served?
The word on the forums is that the CBC blew its budget getting
Hockey Night in Canada and the Olympics so it was a good time for a
paradigm shift. If you want to see what is possible in programming, go
to the BBC website and examine the offerings on channels 1 to 7.
Why don't we do that? That is the question.
