How much I hate radio commercials
Despite the huge drop in programming quality resulting from the CBC lockout, I still find it a better radio station to listen to in the morning simply because it doesn't have any commercials! I can't stand radio commercials! I'm not sure whether it is ethical for me to be listening to it during the lockout (I'm a union member myself and I don't want to scab), but I have listened to it a few times, and despite the sheer mediocrity and lack of the usual interesting and informative programming, it is still far better than the aggravation of listening to the commercials on commercial radio.

Transcript of scrum with Heritage Minister (CBCunplugged.com)
Scrum: What are you hearing from the public?

Frulla: Francophone communities are really desperate. We were in Saskatchewan, we were, so those who react the most, I have to tell you, are the Francophone communities. Because they're missing something that they do not have. And I'm not saying that the rest are not missing it but the Francophone communities, you know, they're missing it the most.

Scrum: Will you appoint a new chair of the board? Because we have a chair and president who's the same person.

Frulla: The board is coming, trust me. And the chair of the board, if God likes me, is gonna be somebody that knows broadcasting.
