As I said before, I agree that the programming is terrible for the most part. But unfortunately it's a package. It's like that one girlfriend that wouldn't do the nasty thing you really wanted, but was perfect in every other way. Your kinda stuck with it and in the end, and it's good for you.

It's a package, Troutman just came in here and said he's not happy with their television, but their radio is superior. And I agree.

Different people will find different value. But in the end it serves us all.

Now can we do it better? Of course we can. I like the 24 hour news+HNIC idea, unfortunately it's uninformed and it's not that simple. But scraping the CBC would detrimental to the country.
