Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Your tax dollars at work. Just heard about this this morning - they're shunting The National on CBC to simulcast an American Idol knockoff.Kudos to Knowlton Nash for telling it like it is. Nash slams CBC while accepting award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questcequecest? Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 haha, i'm beginning to believe we live inside a giant joke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Why do they do this? If Canadians really want to watch this drek then they can get cable and watch the show on ABC.Does the CBC really think this show is going to be a ratings monster ala American Idol?

MarcO Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 It's just insane. CBC radio has their shit together. But what on earth is going on over on the television side?!?I sincerely hope this US show achieves some of the lowest ratings ever measured.

Large Marge Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Why have reality when you can have TV? The National's become a bit of a joke these days anyway, though it saddnes me to have them materialize as such in such an obtuse manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
