insidethecbc doesn’t explain where it got these shocking charts, which vividly display the real “death spiral” of CBC Radio One. According to the graphs, at the rate at which the CBC was rapidly losing audience share before the recession hit ….. ….. by this summer no one would be listening to it any more.

Silence of the scams
April 7, 2009 – 5:36 pm
insidethecbc had been down for an extended period today, leaving many citizens unable to speechify about the CBC, and preventing employees from killing a few minutes during peak times of boredom. The problem has now been fixed, once again unleashing the vital flow of cheerful news and behind-the-scenes revelations.
When Can We Buy Us Some CBC?
April 7, 2009 – 5:06 pm
Of the $171 million in cuts announced by Hubert Lacroix, 73% of that amount is to be realized by the selling of some CBC “assets”.And while many production cuts have been specifically named, no one as yet knows what real estate or equipment is going to be put up for sale.CBC management has apparently found […]
CBC.ca goes further down the tweethole
April 7, 2009 – 8:22 am
CBC.ca Arts publishes an embarrassing display of Twitter-based humor. From his photo, author Andre Mayer doesn’t look too old, but he writes gags like he’s 50. Apparently CBC Arts somehow Benjamin Buttonizes its writers. There may be a Brad Pitt survey on this somewhere on the site, but I can’t be bothered to look it […]
‘CBC a shining path’
April 6, 2009 – 2:19 pm
With a title like that, it’s not surprising to find an essay that goes in several directions, while still arriving at only one place. Being silly. And most telling, it has little to do with the CBC at all.

Rally to save CBC North comes 50 years too late for audience
April 4, 2009 – 4:40 pm
You’d think SooToday.com could have found a better photo to represent the modern CBC listener for this news release. From this century would have been good enough. Sure, a lot of old people listen to CBC Radio, but they are still mostly in color.
Breaking! F.O., DMcG agree on something
April 2, 2009 – 1:19 pm
Finale of Being Erica failed to suck. Mega-highlight? Bracing, treacle-cutting, minty-fresh dreamscape/office for milquetoast Erica’s new therapist. Can’t wait to see her real-world disguises in Erica’s escapades.
CBC a harsh mistress, homosexualist comedian declares
April 2, 2009 – 10:11 am
Greg Malone of Codco tells (“Touchâ€) Paul Bellini “I’m tired of beating my head against the ice trying to please broadcasters…. There’s no satire to speak of anymore in this country; it’s all gone soft. It has been 10 years since I worked in TV, and I have tried. That’s why I wrote the book.…. […]
Further down the tweethole
April 2, 2009 – 7:36 am
The twitter people have criticized these posts for doing it wrong. Tweets are sacrosanct and must be taken in context, they say. Tweets should not be fodder for cheap laffs. They tell me I’m too old and I don’t “get it.” But nothing could be further from the truth. I get it. It’s all about […]

And now if you look at this home page long enough you will find yourself getting sucked into an infinity vortex of meta.
Cock’d-up ‘Gunns’?
April 1, 2009 – 10:53 am
Describing 22 Minutes and The Red Green Show as “heavily funded CBC programs,†an article on little-seen Hard Core Logo manqué Cock’d Gunns ascribes that show’s failure partly to the fact it “was produced on an exceptionally low budget, which is often the case for Canadian comedy shows not privy to the CBC’s wealth of […]
