cbc can't do anything right at the moment. HNIC, axing the radio orchestra, axing CBC Records after they won their first grammy, making radio 2 into commercial radio (let's see - new contemporary art music, that won't be played anywhere else, or diana krall (who's fab) who gets lots of airplay..
if i made any money to pay taxes for i'd withhold them...

...IF it weren't for taxes, CBC would not exit.

they seem to have forgotten that we pay for them. as a cbc brat (dad worked for the mother corp for over 35 years) i feel somewhat betrayed by the wanton changes, with no consultation.
and the rant builds...

So should they have done whatever necessary to keep it? Given her whatever she asked?
They've been in litigation for more than 3 years. I'd love to hear the whole story, not just the comments that each side have made. |

I heard they were paying her $500.00 per night, which is a paltry sum when all things are considered.

| I would suggest they buy the rights outright. Keep it as a Canadian Heritage Symbol or something to that effect. Put it in the National Museum of Hockey. Whenever that gets built... |

Well, it wasn't the first theme so I don't see a problem with getting another one.
The CBC is a business first and foremost. If a deal can't be done within the budget then so be it. |

Well let's hope you're not put in charge of Canadian Historical Archives when the cost of storing them goes up. ;\
Let's get Avril Lavign to write it and sing it too! |

Keeping a theme song is not even in the same universe as managing the archives.
Putting the them song in a Hockey Museum is totally different from using it for current business. |

i'm beginning to wonder if the management is trying to be made independent - if through mismanagement they hope the government will cut cbc loose and then they can have their own commercial station already set up. or is that just too paranoid for words...?

| Too paranoid. There'd be an uprising if the government did that... at least, amongst everyone over forty. :P By the way, the CBC had said the theme might live on, but it seems as of yesterday, it's good night to hockey night. |

| Yeesh.. Claman also wrote that "A Place to Stand" horror. :/ I'm sorry, I know there's a ton of Ontarians that grew up in the sixties and seventies that have a lot of sentimental feeling for it, but it grates on my nerves like nails on a chalkboard! |

| Lets throw out a very real possibility. CBC doesn't pick up the rights? Any one can. That means that TSN can pick them up. Sportsnet. Or um...Fox... THE HORROR! |

we had a protest over the radio 2 foolishness (it was nationwide last month) and there were lots of kids there, not just brought by their parents, but there independently. which kinda shows cbc is grossly out of touch.
sorry. a little ranty over this.

| Can't get excited about the hockey song, but I would join the CBC rant. (Although when I think about it, the degradation in both their radio and tv programs has meant I tune in a LOT LOT LOT less, which may be a plus for my spiritual enlightenment but definitely deprives the younger generations whose heads may not yet have been filled with Good Things). |

| Hey, you'll get no argument from me about the CBC being grossly out of touch. My 40+ comment was a bit snarky, but I sometimes think they're erring too much on the side of caution, initiating change for the sake of change, and alienating their current strong audience. As an example, take Radio 1. "Here and Now" is the local Toronto weekday afternoon show. I guess they've been trying to lure the younger demographic, because ever since they decimated the show's current affairs items, replaced the journalistic Avril Benoit with the puerile Matt Galloway, and started playing music, the show's perennial themes seem to be Hip-Hop and live poetry readings. I mean, Hip-Hop culture has mysteriously become extremely important to Radio 1 culture. Hip-Hop. When the hell did that happen? I can turn off Radio 1 for six months, but as soon as I tune in again, some Hip-Hip artist is discussing the birth pangs associated with delivering yet another Hip-Hop poetry paean to Toronto's apparently Hip-Hop hungry cultural landscape. I don't know, I tuned out, so as far as I'm concerned, Radio 1 is doing something very stupidly wrong. |

| Incidentally, was anyone else horrified that the CBC is adding "Wheel of Fortune" to their stellar programming lineup? I guess I can stop watching the CBC now, since I've seen everything. |

CBC has been owned. Absolutely hilarious.
Hockey on CBC will end when their current contract with the NHL is up (6 years or so I believe...) |
