I miss the CBC

The CBC lockout has affected me. I always listen to CBC radio in the morning, so I can hear the news, weather, some occasionally interesting features and when I'm running late, I can listen to the Current.
I want to support my friends at the CBC by not listening to management put on brutal radio, but then I'm stuck with the annoying DJs at the rock station in Kingston. I alternate between the two, when one drives me crazy I switch to the other. It sucks either way.
I'm not a big watcher of TV news, but when I do I put on the CBC and though I can get local news for Montreal, that's about it. The CTV station in Ottawa is bad, and then there's Global, which is well, Global but seems to be my alternative.
How much longer can those of us who enjoy decent news programming last? Not much. I also enjoy commentary with my sports programs, and I was looking forward to a new season of Rick Mercer.
Mostly, I miss good radio in the morning. In a land without a daily newspaper the CBC is all I have.

I don't miss Anne Murray, I have many painful memories of being in a stuck in a car, with my family, listening to Anne Murray.

Hahahahaha! Or worse - Rita McNeil.

Riva riva riva... oh how do I miss you? - a rhetorical question, by the way.

I won't lie, sometimes there was Rita McNeil playing in the car. I do believe that somewhere there is a Murray McNeil duet. Oh the agony...
