CBC Takes a Hit

The CBC announced its new schedule today. For those who like the arts,
humanities, and sciences it is a disaster. No classical music, no
opera, no lectures by people who know their subject, no plays.
Instead, they are changing their programming to appeal to the
"younger generation."
The Harper Conservative government has a large number of neo -con
members who would like to do away with the CBC altogether and give the
airwaves over to their wealthy members. This new programming is a step
on the way as the CBC will have lost their solid core of arts and
humanities listeners and will not attract the 18-35 demographic who
are well served by private stations.
For all the horrible details see the Toronto Star for Apr 8.
Support PBS: that's all we have left.
Will this new policy also affect TVO?
