Tea Makers wins New York Blog Critics Award
August 27, 2007 – 5:53 am
Entire careers at the CBC have be staked and million-dollar projects have been justified upon the winning of a single award. It doesn’t even have to be an award anyone has heard of.

A rough ride for the B-Team
August 22, 2007 – 5:12 pm
Have you ever watched CBC-TV and said to yourself “WTF?” Or listened to CBC Radio. Or watched CBC Newsworld. Next time it happens look at the calendar and you’ll find that it’s July or August.

August 14, 2007 – 5:43 am
I get emails from all kinds of people. I answer every one. Maybe you think a lot of them are angry, but a negative email is very rare. I think this is because people can freely criticize me in the comments of this blog, which is probably a lot more satisfying than sending a sharply-worded […]

Lazy broadcasters’ book club

Allan is reading Knowlton Nash’s Trivia Pursuit, which is out of print but available through Amazon resellers for $0.01. A good deal for you, although I don’t think Knowlton will be seeing any royalties from that sale. Paul is reading signs in the TBC, midway into a week-long series of a sign-a-day blog postings.
