There is a lock-out

August 20, 2005 by Michael Boyle

There is a lock-out

at the CBC outside of Quebec (and Moncton, NB) at the moment, but some CBC producers have put together www.cbcunplugged.com, a site where you can go to listen to podcasts of your favourite radio personalities. It seems that Tod Maffin got the ball rolling but a wider group of producers is now behind the effort.

I hope this gets resolved quickly, because the radio landscape in Ottawa is pretty barren. A couple of years ago there was a similar problem in Quebec and at that time I switched to a local sports radio station, The Team 990 (CKGM). Trouble is, sports radio in Ottawa is not nearly of the same caliber that we had in Montreal. Too much macho jock-talk.

At the beginning of the month, Nadia and I went to a beautiful wedding on Vancouver Island. My friend Lyle snapped this photo of us at the party the evening before the big event.
