I guess we’re in agreement in many areas. CBC does as bad as everyone at actually covering rural regions and representing us to the wider world.
And hearing “This American Life” on CBC was very disappointing. My first thought was that there are plenty of Canadian stories being told in local outlets and podcasts that are more deserving of wider distribution. There are more CBC programs being picked up elsewhere, so maybe there are larger cross-distribution deals in play, but the US already looms large; they don’t need help getting the word out.
