George says that he deliberately didn’t cover the Tiger Woods story on The Hour, even though it was significant enough to be reported all over the world. “I don’t care who you’re sleeping with. Irrelevant to me. I also think it’s disingenuous for the press to go after this particular athlete. Fuck. They’ve been leaving […]

“It is true that the new National does seem to be shedding viewers and that the new Radio 2 is an abject failure. Perhaps its time to replace the generic Teamakers bitchery with a more focussed look at what those two projects have in common. Or, rather, who they have in common.” -Anonymous, Why We […]

“The management shill who wrote this self-serving tripe should get his or her fat butt out of a chair and go talk to people around the CBC. Morale is the worst it’s been in decades. It will not improve as long as we are led by the vandals now in charge.” – Marky2050 on Paul […]

“What made CBC work in the past was a symbiotic relationship between creative shit disturber types wanting to tell Canadian stories, and the bureaucrats who keep the watercoolers filled and the paycheques signed. With a healthy layer of super-talented technical and artistic types in the middle.” – Knowlton Nash the Slash in Why We Leak
Why we leak
April 21, 2010 – 11:16 pm
I want to take a minute to talk about some ‘dispiriting’ survey results that were leaked last night. First off I take full responsibility for the leak, as I was the one who did the leaking. Or rather, someone gave them to me, and I put them online. Why did I do it? Quite frankly, […]
The renewal of CBCNews.ca and scurrilous flutter on Twitter
April 21, 2010 – 6:48 pm
Yesterday we launched the renewal of CBCNews.ca with a series of discussions with staff across the country. There was genuine excitement about the direction, which is about better serving our audiences. There were also constructive questions expressing a need for more detail, and expressing fear and some concerns about change. The questions were totally appropriate […]
Trouble in the HUB
April 20, 2010 – 9:02 pm
So just what is the CBC News HUB? Well, one thing it is is a way for CBC News to allocate resources to journalists. Say you need an interview for a story you’re doing. You would submit your needs to the HUB and content would be doled to you in priority. Who knows, you might […]

“So here is where it is true and it is wrong at the same time happens. Yes the numbers are up. Six CBC shows have over 1 million viewers (one of which is Jeopardy). Thank you PPMs. It is also true that the corp doesn’t have a single show in the top 20 in Canada… […]

 You know those people you hate just by looking at them ? That is how I always felt about Bob. I was first introduced to him from George’ s old radio show on The Edge. I hated him for some reason. He had this pompous aura about him. Then, I saw some photos of […]
