Back from the Ashes

Ok, I'm back and the hiatus is over. (Not that I ever really went anywhere but this blog has been silent a long time.) I don't know how often I'll post but I feel the need to start this up again. At the end of the lockout last year I said

"...the battle was won but in many ways the war just got harder. What, after all, was the point of saving our jobs if we are just going to let the institution that provides those jobs and more importantly provides the Canadian public with a vital service continue to die a slow death taking those jobs and that service with it."

It would appear that the audience (at least on the television side) of the CBC has not returned and that the public in general is less interested now than they were during the lockout.

As an added bonus the CBC will soon have this to contend with. If you think this isn't going to be a serious challenge have a look at who is involved. It is certainly not some kids operating out of a basement, or me aggregating stuff that people are doing anyway. Granted, this will be more appealing to the left than the right, but given the feelings of much of the right about the CBC these days CBC television needs all the eyes it can get.

As far as I can tell all of the CBC Televisions new and revamped fall shows are failing. So, although I'm not picketing anymore, or even working for the CBC at the moment, the blog is back.
