The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation recently locked out members of the Canadian Media Guild. I sympathize with both sides and, if the various weblogs from CMG members (and one CBC manager) are any indication, they’d all like to be back working with each other too. A couple of station managers are keeping Radio One morning programming limping along with reruns and a lot of music, but I miss waking up to the southwestern Ontario edition of Ontario Morning, Anna-Maria Tremonti and The Voice on The Current, and (of course) Promo Girl.
It’s too late in the evening to continue cogently, so I’ll just point to Tod Maffin’s CBC Unplugged weblog. Tod’s blogroll links to just over thirty lockout-related blogs and sites, some of which have been set up just for the lockout and some of which have existed for a while (and I wish I knew before tonight that they did!).
My last thought before going to bed—and listening to not-CBC Overnight—is a plea to all those involved in the currently-stalled negotiations to get back to the table and settle this thing.
