Jonathon Harvey attends Open House at CBC Vancouver. Pretends to be curious about broadcasting but seems far more interested in the many attractive women who work there and treat the public so politely.

Appears President Hubert is taking the advice of Talking Heads and stopped making sense. Speaking in Vancouver, he offered up some remarkable statements … “I hear a lot of people pining for the supposed golden age of CBC/Radio-Canada, an age when everything we did was relevant, compelling and Canadian,” Lacroix said. “Here is the reality: […]

Update! CBC’s continued effort to make its work environment a manifestation of Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times. CBC has decided to install GPS tracking equipment into its News vehicles. No longer just happy telling News teams where to go they now want to see how they get there. Although the exact model of equipment is not […]

“Eh, I don’t think so” responds Peter Mansbridge in the briefest of interviews to promote his book of interviews transcribed from work he performed and was paid for by the CBC. More enjoyable, the 45 min. lunchtime discussion alongside Rex Murphy taped at the Toronto Reference Library a month ago.

Blocked! By NOW Magazine! In other words: NOW you’re BLOCKED! Not me, but the @mondoville acct. What could possibly be the reason? The effrontery of good, fun, forward-thinking journalism, done daily on a shoestring with plenty of digital doodads and gewgaws. The bloody nerve! NOW what’d ya do that for?

In recent weeks management, more likely the think-tank that spawned the HUB, have been finding 4th floor dwellers posting pics of crashed trains, broken wagon wheels, collapsed structures most with the word “HUB” scrawled beneath. Frustrated by the crimes but with no suspects to apprehend, bosses are looking to vent. So what is public enemy […]

“What does this mean for CTV and Global? It means the shows they have depended on to survive, the ones they want even better access to, may soon cease to exist. How long can a dying industry continue to produce $3 million episodes that get smaller and smaller audiences? Not long. Global without House and […]
