Comments on: Death of the Radio Orchestra http://industrialbrand.com/blog/death-of-the-radio-orchestra A Brand Strategy, Communication Design & Web Development Studio in Vancouver, Canada Sat, 31 Dec 2011 21:12:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Dr Charles Barber http://industrialbrand.com/blog/death-of-the-radio-orchestra/comment-page-1#comment-640 Dr Charles Barber Mon, 31 Mar 2008 06:44:22 +0000 http://industrialbrand.com/blog/death-of-the-radio-orchestra#comment-640 I remember a day when the CBC was led by patriots, intent on serving the Canadian identity, advancing the Canadian cause, and helping define the Canadian people. I also remember that the CBC was founded by Conservatives who saw in our public broadcaster an engine of Canadian growth and accountability. So it has been for 75 years. But now? The CBC has debased itself -- again -- by destroying its own radio orchestra. This is a disgrace. It is an embarrassment. It must be reversed, and the CBC returned to its first identity. I am one of many, many Canadians who call on our Conservative Prime Minister to re-assert the CBC's cultural identity, and to reverse this ridiculous and reckless decision. Anyone who wants to find commercial radio knows what it serves, and where to find it. The CBC is ours. Canada's. I remember a day when the CBC was led by patriots,
intent on serving the Canadian identity, advancing the
Canadian cause, and helping define the Canadian
people.
