  CBC lockout XVII: Notes of a blog war correspondent 5


More of today's blogs on CBC.

From Locked Out Employee in Winnipeg.
The BBC is bascially telling us colonials to take a hike: "licensing bulletins to terrestrial broadcasters around the world is a standard business practice for BBC World as a commercial channel."

And what happens next time the Beeb needs a personal favour from a CBC journalist or technician?

The making of a Podcast
Shel Holz gives background on how today's podcast on the plans for CBCunplugged came about.

He doesn't like Coronation Street?

Jordon Cooper in Saskatoon doesn't like Coronation Street ( The Street's fans can find his e-mail on his blog), likes the Passionate Eye and Deadline Iraq, but like many others seems to think the CBC is a left wing version of Fox News.

Give us back the CBC
A librarian who has just returned to Winnipeg from out of the country can't get CBC again!

What are those managers saying on the air?
Posted today, so it gives an excuse to have a chuckle. Apparently after the American language police went after Garrison Keillor, now the US company that syndicates Ideas is warning public radio stations about the bad language we produce at the Corp.

Rachel's space
She likes the reruns of 22 Minutes.

So that's what happened to that picket sign
A blog from a teen who visited the TBC and took home a picket sign. Put it to good use Chris!

I write in a renovated garret in my house in a part of Toronto, Canada, called "The Pocket." The blog is named for a tree can be seen outside the window of my garret.

My Photo
Name: Robin Rowland
Location: Toronto, Canada

I'm a Toronto-based writer, photographer, web producer, television producer, journalist and teacher. I'm author of five books, the latest A River Kwai Story: The Sonkrai Tribunal. The Garret tree is my blog on the writing life including my progress on my next book (which will be announced here some time in the coming months) My second blog, the Wampo, Nieke and Sonkrai follows the slow progress of my freelanced model railway based on my research on the Burma Thailand Railway (which is why it isn't updated that often) The Creative Guide to Research, based on my book published in 2000 is basically an archive of news, information and hints for both the online and the shoe-leather" researcher. (Google has taken over everything but there are still good hints there)



New blogs as of Sept. 2009
