I know it is soon to talk about CBC's new look and programs. What hurt the
most is the promise of local news after The National.
I was hoping and looking forward to this. What did we get more Toronto news.
So what about the noon news, only more Toronto news and only southern Ontario
weather.
OK, maybe there is hope for the six o'clock news, you guessed it just more
Toronto news and southern Ontario weather.
Well, OK, maybe the overnight programs have not changed. We could get news
from Sweden, Germany, England, Australia and Poland. You guessed it, they're
all gone so that some disc jockey from Toronto can play music we do not need,
more Toronto garbage.
CBC is so much out of touch with everyone outside Toronto.
They did do one thing, Peter Mansbridge now stands up like Wolf Blitzer hoping
the prime minister will watch because he watches American news. Do you blame
him?
Toronto Maple Laughs are the mainstay on Saturday. The CBC does not care that
they are the worst team in the world because it is for Toronto and who cares
about the rest of the world.
CBC, for the past many years, has moved from a National commodity to a
centrist Toronto station, yet all of Canada pays for this junk.
Global and CTV are in difficulty because they are providing local news, yet
CBC can laugh at them because no one is forcing our national network to
provide local news.
There was hope with all the hoopla of new approach, but boy did CBC ever miss
the boat again and they don't care. After all, the taxpayers are suckers who
will continue to pay.
If I were prime minister for one day, my first act would be to get rid of the
CBC until it becomes a Canadian Network again.

Vancouver) domestic shortwave stations
"** NEWFOUNDLAND. CBC Radio 1 has canceled CBC Overnight, the service it has
carried for several years consisting of `SW` stations from abroad put together
for them by WRN. Now Radio Canada Immigration gets its big break, The Link
carried on CBC`s domestic network, even if it is the middle of the night. And
consequently relayed back on SW by CKZN, noted Oct 27 at 0557 as Marc
Montgomery was upwrapping its first hour urging listeners to stay tuned for
second hour. Usual fast rippling SAHeterodyne from CKZU, as the two CBC SW
stations on 6160 cannot match their frequencies accurately.
.... Andy Reid points out the daily CBC sked
http://www.cbc.ca/programguide/daily/2009/10/27/cbc_radio_one/
which shows The Link at 2-4 am local, and the rest mostly BBCWS now. To avoid
further confusion, in the case of CKZN, `local` time means Atlantic, not
Newfoundland as CBC scheduling is simultaneous, not one semihour offset.
However, poetic justice at *0559 when RN Bonaire cuts on 6165 and blows away
6160. More about that under NETHERLANDS [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
