Dear Michael,
<http://friends.ca/TheCBCWeWant> The CBC We WantOn Thursday May 31st,
FRIENDS is launching The CBC We Want, a national conversation about the
future direction of our national public broadcaster.
I am writing to invite you to watch the live webcast at
www.friends.ca/TheCBCWeWant.=20
Here are the start times in each of Canada's six time zones:=20
5:30 pm in Newfoundland and Labrador
5:00 pm in the Maritimes=20
4:00 pm in Quebec and Ontario=20
3:00 pm in Manitoba=20
2:00 pm in Saskatchewan and Alberta=20
1:00 pm in British Columbia
After another round of severe cuts and service reductions, many =
supporters
of public broadcasting have been left wondering how to make a =
difference.
Some say the CBC has lost its way, and is no longer fulfilling its =
mandate.
But what is the way forward?=20
Should the CBC chase audience, introduce ads on Radio 2 and go more
commercial? Should it provide high-quality programming that is =
distinctively
different from the private sector? Or, is there another path?=20
Tinkering on the margins or engaging in the old sterile debates are not
options. Canadians need to reconsider what they want from their national
public broadcaster.=20
Veronic Tennant =
<http://www.friends.ca/TheCBCWeWant/images/tennant2.jpg>
Veronica Tennant, producer, director, prima ballerina, will moderate the
opening round of this conversation which will be webcast live from the
launch event in Waterloo, Ontario.=20
Some of Canada's most creative thinkers and artists will join the
discussion, and you can too.=20
Tune in to the webcast by visiting www.friends.ca/TheCBCWeWant on =
Thursday
at 4 pm EDT.=20
May 31st marks the beginning of a conversation about The CBC We Want. It
will be a lively and provocative exchange of ideas and opinions with =
some
great musical entertainment mixed in that you won't want to miss.=20
Please join us for this provocative, thoughtful and constructive =
discussion.
Yours sincerely,
Ian Morrison <http://www.friends.ca/files/html/IanMorrisonSig.gif> =09
