Winking smiley indeed.

Canadian radio broadcasters and their advertisers feel the same way. They constantly lobby the government's regulatory body (the CRTC) for permission to relax the regulations so as to allow broadcasters to play what people want instead of what bureaucrats deem "correct" entertainment.

I looked into FTA. It appears to go down all the time as well.

I keep the radio at the shop tuned to a Canadian station most of the time. The clock/radio that wakes me up is tuned to CBC2. I prefer to watch hockey on Canadian tv. Living near the border has it's perks.

I like As It Happens, and NOT the "US version".

The difference is that you're not FORCED to watch or listen to that. It's your CHOICE.

Canadians legally lack that choice. And for anything other than broadcast, lack that choice absolutely.

Guy Lombard was from Canada.Do Canadians listen to his songs? I do, once in a while. I like the XM 40s on 4 music channel on DirecTV.Big Band/Swing era Music. cuhulin

Dude, how old *ARE* you?

When I take my Mom somewhere I play ch 4 for her. She's 87.

I'd *love* to get the true BBC, but for now I'll live with just Top Gear.

We used to watch Guy Lombardo's New Year's Eve TV show with our rabbit-ears antenna.

Wading though piles of TV crap, what about the car. You could have at least changed the subject line.

Subject changed a long time before I joined in...
