Huh??? That is one strange headline from James Cudmore. Do you hate your job so much, Jim, that its become personal? Who elected you? What difference do you make to the running of Canada or the Afghanistan mission? Not even a real journalist like Bob Woodward would have the nerve to write a headline like [...]
The timing couldn’t have been worse for a technical glitch by Rogers that prevented parts of Toronto from seeing the final live airing of Battle of the Blades. But going largely unreported was that channel 26 also disappeared. For 45 minutes on Monday night, cable subscribers could watch anything they wanted, except the CBC.
CBC blames Canadian Press instead of their own inability to read the English language. Three weeks into the newly baked version of The National and already Peter Mansbridge has twice been forced to make corrections for slip-ups made during a previous broadcast. How long before Stursberg comes on to apologize for the entire show?
During commercial break at the finale of the Battle of the Blades, Kurt Browning skates with unnamed audience coordinator.
Jian The Hyphenated Human sees the opportunity to make a few extra bucks as a rent-a-speaker. But trying to come up with a sellable topic is proving challenging.

Perhaps like the BEEB we at the CEEB need full Senior Executive Team disclosure: 37 BBC staff earn more than the Prime minister. “Nearly 300 senior managers earning more than £100,000, were kept off the list, The Times has learnt.

Doyle objects to to the disrespect Stursberg shows toward the CBC’s stakeholders, and finds a lot directed at himself.
CBC finds a place where George can do less harm. On the radio. Making introductions for other people who have actual creative talent. Expect The Mooseman to transport you to deep emotional (and dare we say philosophical) soundscapes where you’ll never want to go again.
From the Mercer Report on YouTube. Comment from skinnydipper08: “I can’t wait until the CBC interviews Rick Hansen.”
See? This is what happens when you get rid of the editors (in the union).
The Canadian New Media Awards finalists were announced, and it’s a lot of websites no one uses, made by innovators that are spent out and sputtering for ideas. When K-os wins “Best Online Artist of the Year,” in 2009, it begs the question: “Does anyone else have any other ideas? Hello?” “Anyone?”
1:21 [Comment From Allan:] Richard Stursberg calls all the negative reviews “pathetic”. He says that people like Rick Salutin are just writing what CTV wants people to believe and that they just want the CBC to fail. That’s all true isn’t it? 1:24 John Doyle: Allan – I’m disappointed that CBC brass has reacted to [...]
