In the Maritmes, couldn't go to a local ceremony, so figured I'd listen to the Halifax one on Radio One. 10 minutes into it, they switched to Commotion. Tried to find the live stream in their app, all I get is it'll be available on demand. Not actually streaming in the app at the moment. FFS, who that that was a good idea?

I'm in Toronto. I have Bell Fibe TV and an Amazon Fire TV Stick.

I'd like to listen to Radio One through my TV.

I know it's on Channel 956 on Bell, but I'd have to upgrade my TV channel package that adds over a hundred stations, and I'd rather not spend that money to listen to one radio station. I don't watch the channels I already have.

I have the CBC Gem app on both Fibe TV and the Fire Stick, but it doesn't have the Radio Stations (why not?)

There is the CBC Listen App, but it doesn't appear to be in the Bell Fibe Google Play Store nor the Fire TV App Store.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

I'm confused by the CBC's decision to turn off commenting on Youtube videos, by an organization that is supported to be a source of honest, real and open discussion. I think you are making a huge mistake, open discussion is what made you of higher consciousness and expression and your ending any kind of conversation seems like you just ended your superpower, nothing makes you special if we cannot talk about things.

I listen to the CBC World News every morning on Alexa. And every single time, Joe Cummings fumbles the words and makes a mistake. It's become a game now. I can reliably wait for him to make a mistake. It's shocking because he only needs to read for a couple of mins. And yet every single day he makes at least one mistake. How is he still employed as a news broadcast?? It is embarrassing for CBC. Can't they find anyone else to read for 2mins without making a mistake? Anyone else notice this?

Shouldn’t we as taxpayers who fund the CBC be allowed to give feedback to news stories?

I know the CBC stopped the feedback portion that trailed a news items because comments were getting abusive etc.

But other forums like Cross Country Checkup and Ontario Today get moderated if comments are abusive or off topic, so why can’t we have an online forum to comment?

Perhaps some guidelines need to be set up. Limit on length of comments. Can only comment on a story within 48 hours of its’ release. What does the BBC do over in England?

Not allowing public comments adds more fuel to the political campaign to defund the CBC. Such a development would harm the broadcasting world and our communities.

People need to be heard. CBC, please give us our forums back.

I joined halfway through the spot on Ottawa morning and heard Robyn Bresnahan is stepping down as host. I think she is maintaining the podcast but wondered if she is doing anything else?

Did anyone fact check the CBC Radio Ideas report on leaf blowers and the environment that played on CBC Radio today in Saskatoon?

The whole report conflates CO2 emissions with noise pollution, talking as though they were the same thing. Hot take, they're not.

It goes on to claim that an F150 Raptor is the biggest truck you can get when comparing driving one to running a leaf blower. This will be news to 3/4 and 1ton trucks like F350 and F450's all over the continent. Completely confused what a 2 stroke engine is. They claim that all leaf blowers, lawn mowers, and any engine with a pull start is 2 stroke and dirtier than driving a vehicle long distances. Nevermind that most lawnmowers have been 4 stroke pull starts for over a decade - and the ones that aren't are usually electric... No wonder, the one paper they rely on for all this info is from 2011...

This sort of garbage reporting is what keeps moderates skeptical about what's going on with the environment. It's clear that Ideas is now a climate change show, but does it have to be a propagandist climate change show? I mean, there are actual facts that you can rely on without spreading garbage information. Pretty biased for a publicly funded broadcaster. Super disappointed.

Can we start a "Trump" counter for this show? I get that American politics effect us in Canada, and he's going to come up. But it seems like every day, at least one segment is about Trump. Today in the introduction, I think I heard his name 4 times. Come on, are there no interesting things happening in Canadian politics?

I’m interested in applying for the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) through the Employer Job Offer stream. I recently received a job offer from CBC and am considering joining them, but only if they agree to sign the employer form required for the OINP application. Has anyone here successfully secured OINP with CBC as the employer? I would appreciate any insights or experiences you can share.

Has anyone had experience with the CBC pension plan after leaving the company? CBC has given me the option to either contribute to the pension or receive extra cash in lieu of it. Since I don’t plan to stay with them for more than three years, I’m trying to determine if it’s worth contributing or not. I’m in my thirties and considering cashing out after leaving, as that’s an option. I’d appreciate hearing from anyone with experience on this and what your recommendations might be.

Anyone know when the next season of Someone Knows Something by David Ridgen comes back?

Can it just be me? Anybody else?

Who does the programming?

We are starting the morning with a report of a shooting at a Jewish school. Following that a discussion about a 13 year old in Kelowna violently attacked by multiple people.

These are important issues that we need to talk about but fuck. Do we really need to start our Sunday morning depressed? We haven’t even started the day and the first think we are thinking about is depressing horrible shit.

Why does cbc do this so much?

A year later and they are still trotting out the same BS that Isreal is “trying to eliminate Hamas” and “has a right to defend itself. Absolute garbage coverage, and it leads virtually every news break.

Was listening to The House on CBC radio yesterday morning. What the heck? The HOC is currently shut down on government business until they release incriminating documents to …. ITSELF. A massive scandal being buried by the LPC NOT A WORD ABOUT THIS ON CANADA’s PREMIER POLITICS SHOW. This is a slap on the face to politically informed Canadians. In the CBC trying to commit suicide?

Tariq’s afterdark is miles above o-Radio’s. One gets the sense that o-Roboto neither likes nor even listens to the satellite radio playlist that he plays. Generic Odario filler: “Aw, yeah. Just how we all feel: [insert lyric from album liner or lyric search]. Humans, like we totally are, really get those feels.” Tariq’s playlist reminds me so much more of the well-missed Laurie Brown’s contemporary ear-bending sound. Considering that Odario is so obviously already canned, recording his entire set in about nine minutes of terrible filler, I would love to hear the mothership actually can him to have Tariq provide that brilliant sound eight nights per week.

The CBC has been, and forgive me here, shitting the proverbial bed when it comes to the promotion of interesting contemporary artists. Odario plays some, but it comes after a long transition, like Shift, out of r&b and rap and pop to eventually land on some excellent new sounds before signing off for nightstream (which is near the only place I can turn for the introduction to stellar Canadian artists, and presumably shouldn’t be as something of a ghostship in the night). Short of resurrecting the Signal, which I regretfully admit after years of coming to terms is an impossibility, perhaps our Corporate Broadcaster could fatten Tariq until like a vicious gosling the better afterdark takes over the timeslot and even those useless bits on either side of it.

Just a thought. And, if the mothership is listening, I’m not sure whether Tariq has an alternate musical producer or whatever it is in the secret sauce, but more please and forever.

People are tragically disappointed by the CBC’s efforts to branch out to cradle all of the ‘disenfranchised.’ The bough has broken. It’s time to promote musical excellence again. Combat the Conservative defund campaign by knocking the raw asses off your listenership, with sound.

As I type I'm listening to a fun conversation on language.

I grew up on Vancouver Island. A short ferry ride away is an island. About 6000 residence at the time, I'm not sure what the population is now.

In school, the young kids would be bused to the island. I recall many of the kids had various words and phrases that were unique to them in conversation. I've always thought this is how language evolves. We like to create what's regionally unique to us.

Has anyone experienced this?

As for the grammar or word police, I've always taken a back seat. 99% of the time, I understand what's typed here, so I've always ignored it. My practice in interpretation comes from my elderly Mom misspelling texts and whatnot.

It's a fun topic, but not one I'll ever lose sleep over.

I was listening to As It Happens today (live on the radio) and at the end of the segment on the Woodstock message tree being cut down, they played a cover of Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock" song. I missed who was covering it, and when I went back to the website to replay it and hear the name of the person/group covering it again, it plays a totally different (lyric-less) song and they cut out them saying who preformed it! Did anybody catch who it was?

Just listened to the 6pm news "The World Today" or whatever they call it now. They reported on a story stating that the Prime Minister was nearly tossed from the H of C ( hyperbole) while failing to report on Garnet Genuis' comment (homophobic) that JT was responding to. Talk about a total media failure.

On this mornings feedback segment they chatted about a previous episode on notebooks. Someone know when this episode aired?

Heard a clip this morning on OM with Ramraajh saying he'll no longer be with the show and that a new permanent host will be announced soon. Here's hoping they get it right this time.

Is she coming back to do Tues-Fri? I haven't been listening consistently.

Occasionally a guest is brought on the air to discuss a difficult subject. In the cases where there Is a left and right position, the guest is always from the left. There is never anyone to explain, counter or defend the right’s position. It’s unbearable to listen to and downright unfair. I’ve listened to the Early Edition since high school and now that I have a developed my political beliefs it’s clear to me what they’re doing. I was naive before.

This is why defunding makes sense to me. Or they could always make fair news and I have no problem supporting that.

I remember that CBC produced a series of podcasts episodes (although I’m not actually sure if it would’ve been called a “podcast” back then) with each episode telling the history of an individual jazz artist.

Does anyone else remember these? They were great! Likely from the early-mid 2000’s.

Wondering where I can find an archive of the episodes?
