Patrick Watson. The, Patrick Watson.

February 28, 2009 – 4:48 am

Patrick Watson’s is not the most important voice when it comes to discussing the CBC.Yours is also important.But for more than five decades he was one of the most talented, intelligent and principled people in the building.And never afraid to think outside the box.

Become Vital or Die

February 27, 2009 – 11:49 pm

Cuts of Brixton

February 27, 2009 – 8:20 am

Why do CBC Teamakers love the Clash so much? Is is because they were a bunch of punks who tried to keep a DIY/rock’n’roll spirit, even though they ended up in the corporate world?
As we watch Hubert, Senior Team and the Board of Directors come up with ‘the plan’ for cutbacks, let’s ponder that Clash [...]

$10,000 in … prizes?

February 27, 2009 – 7:39 am

It’s All Television’s Fault

February 27, 2009 – 3:13 am

It’s not mismanagement and over-spending and bad choices that have weakened the CBC.Those factors have been a way of life for years, and yet the CBC always just got bigger and bigger anyways.And it isn’t a matter of getting fewer radio ads or less online traffic.Both those platforms are enjoying higher public acceptance than ever [...]
