Richard Stursberg fired
August 6, 2010 – 3:40 pm
“When Richard was appointed executive vice-president of CBC Television six years ago he brought with him a revolution that shook the foundation of the organization and eventually of the whole of our English services. He challenged every premise, attacked conventional wisdom, and uprooted whole parts of the internal culture. Six years later, the institution is [...]
One Less Bell to Answer, One Less Egg to Fry

August 6, 2010 – Richard Stursberg, executive vice-president, English services, is leaving CBC/Radio-Canada effective today. When Richard was appointed executive vice-president of CBC Television six years ago, he brought with him a revolution that shook the foundation of the organization and eventually the whole of our English services. He challenged every premise, attacked conventional wisdom, [...]
The post-Burman CBC
June 9, 2010 – 1:02 pm
The Ryerson Review of Journalism is writing about the CBC again. This time in a bit called: “Beyond Repair.” It covers familiar ground, particularly for longterm Tea Makers readers. In fact, it’s hard to believe that anyone besides a Tea Makers reader would want to glance at this thing. Magid’s role is downplayed. Ian Morrison [...]
Cumulative earlistenery
February 23, 2010 – 1:33 pm
The CBC intends to aggressively push its content onto multiple digital platforms by negotiating deals with the cable and satellite companies while building on partnerships with the major digital players like iTunes and Google. Or so Inside The CBC tells us was discussed, at some point in time, at an undisclosed location, by a jowly [...]
They think they’re entitled
February 21, 2010 – 8:37 pm
In the arena of 21st century popular culture, you can get away with illegally invading sovereign nations to steal their oil and opium, even if you murder tens of thousands of innocents along the way. But when prominent public meat puppets from Adam Giambrone to Tiger Woods cynically pounce on any and every young thing [...]
Here’s a request – do an actual radio show or get out of the way
February 20, 2010 – 9:51 pm
This is what you’re paying for Canada. This is what Strombo is taking money for. Feeling ripped off yet? Has the CBC no shame? Richard Stursberg whines that people in Canada are not paying enough in taxes to support its public broadcaster. Money for what? Taxes being used to pay Strombo to sit for four [...]
Air Farce launch surprise attack!
December 10, 2009 – 9:37 am
The once campy and innocent Royal Canadian Air Farce initiated a friendly fire attack campaign on its colleagues of the CBC. Under the guise of a pre-tape for their New Years Eve chucklefest the event quickly became a throwdown with its tight-wad overlords of English TV. Targets included the always cuddly VP Richard Stursberg, the mortally wounded CBC News HUB, [...]
Doesn’t take criticism well
November 4, 2009 – 5:59 pm
Tough guy Richard Stursberg knows more about broadcasting than anyone else in this country, and he doesn’t care what you think. Having alienated every single person at the CBC (except one), he has no hesitation in doing the same with its audience. Got a complaint? He’ll insult your intelligence, and question your integrity for good [...]

The last generation of CBC News
October 21, 2009 – 5:08 pm
‘I want to mock you again for your half-assed work and lacklustre commitment. I know that each one of your skills and talents will be wasted in news content that is built on a foundation of conformity, passivity, and commitment to abandon a standard of journalism faster than anyone else in this country’
