My rant is that "they" are ruining Canada's CBC Radio!

First "they" cancelled Tom Allen's "Music and Company", which was brilliant. All classical music has been banned during morning and evening commutes, to and from work and/or school. Now there is not a single radio station available in Halifax that plays anything but pop.

Then "they" started interrupting programs with a smary guy who keeps repeating "Canada Lives Here", which is nonsensical. He especially makes his voice smile when he says "Canada".

Now, "they" have changed the news jingle to disco music, which plays for a good minute overtop the voice of the anchor. Its truely bizarre to wake up to a clock radio issuing news about Afghanistan and murder in Fort Hood to disco!

Sorry to rant, but I'm tired of CBC's the identity crisis.
