The CBC Shouldn't Quit Daytime (again)

After going 5 years without a serious daytime program the CBC finally got back into the game in 2006 with the Gill Deacon Show. Unfortunately, as Antonia Zerbisias puts it, the show was Dumbed down, smothered, then axed. Personally, I would like to see the show continue. I would like to see Gill back next fall, and I would like to see the show given some freedom to take some risks, rather than simply trying to be CBCs version of the View, or Oprah or .. whatever. I would like to see the show given the green light to develop it's own personality and to attempt to appeal to audiences that are missed by existing daytime television (which in reality is most people - in a 24 hour world the potential 'daytime' audience has changed dramatically). If you like Gill, and the show and would like to see it back in any form, please drop an email to layfield@cbc.ca.
