If you want to read some right wing paranoia here's a good start. . .< 11:23:24 PM  >Ottawa Express: "CBC Lock-out: No end in sight" In Ottawa, CBC employees will be operating what you could call Radio Sparks Street, a PA system from outside Ottawa headquarters. They will have researchers, reporters, announcers and producers working to give the public what CBC management isn't-news, interviews, current affairs and live entertainment. [Via CBC Unplugged .com]
Good stuff. The corp moved their staff into the cramped new quarters on Sparks Street to increase the visibility of the CBC in the seat of the federal government. Good idea! . .< 10:32:33 PM >Shelagh Rogers to launch podcast road-trip Shelagh Rogers, locked-out host of Sounds Like Canada, will launch her own podcast this week as she embarks on a cross-Canada tour -- talking to Canadians about their daily lives and dropping in on picket lines along her journey. She and two producers will leave Wednesday from Victoria B.C. You'll be able to follow the broadcasts by checking in at cbcunplugged.com [Via CBC Unplugged .com]
Far out! Way to go Shelagh. I'll bet that Natasha is one of those producers. Can't wait till they get to TO. . .< 1:41:25 AM >The Tea Makers: The belly of the beast People are wondering how long management is willing to "let this last." Well, I've laid my hands on the contingency plan and it goes on for days and days and weeks and months. You would be surprised.
I'm not going to lie to you: pending a miracle, this is going to be long. It's going to be brutal. And we're going to be pretty beat up by the time it is done.
Kate Taylor nails it in the final sentence. The feeling on the line is "they've asked us to be flexible and for years we've been turning ourselves inside out to accommodate them. Now they want more, so badly that they've thrown us out on the street. How much co-operation do they expect when we get back in there? . .< 12:44:41 AM >The Globe and Mail: Minister seeks review of satellite-radio ruling "It looks like cultural dumping," Montreal MP Denis Coderre said in an interview yesterday. "We're not asking just to revisit it. We truly need to have it stopped and redo the homework."
But some MPs, including many in the so-called "auto caucus" -- ridings with car plants and their workers -- want the CRTC decision to stand. Car buyers are a key market for satellite radio systems.
