Re: [Swprograms] > CBC Radio to broaden Radio Two, add arts magazine

Complete schedules for CBC Radio One and Two are available from 
www.insidethecbc.com:

A side effect of the revamp is an extra hour of CBC Radio Overnight. In 
the new sked, World Radio Network programming is set to begin at 
midnight instead of 1 a.m. daily except Friday.

In fact, it wouldn't too bold to say the new Radio One schedule contains 
network service cuts in disguise.

WEEKDAYS: The slot from 11:30 a.m. to noon has contained re-run programs 
since the end of last season -- since the disappearance of Gian 
Ghomeshi's Canadian music program. The 3:30-to-4 p.m. slot has reverted 
to re-runs, in places were local afternoon shows aren't on the air. (One 
of the re-runs is "Madly Off in All Directions," a program that's been 
out of production since last year!) "The Arts Tonight," "Between the 
Covers" and "Northern Lights" are cancelled; re-runs are scheduled for 
10 and 11 p.m. every weekday.  WRN starts at midnight instead of 1 a.m. 
(except Friday, when Vinyl Tap is repeated).

SATURDAY: With "DNTO" trimmed to two hours and "Fuse: moving to 3 p.m., 
there is no CBC programming to replace the missing hour. WRN starts at 
midnight instead of 1 a.m.

SUNDAY: "Sunday Showcase" disappears from the schedule, and again there 
is no CBC programming to replace it. WRN starts at midnight instead of 1 
a.m.

I also have reason to believe there are typos on both schedules. The 
Radio One sked suggests local weekday morning shows only begin at 6 a.m. 
when they actually start at 5:30 or 5 a.m., depending on the station -- 
unless CBC actually intends to cut these periods of local programming! 
The Radio Two sked suggests "World Report" and "The World This Hour" are 
still being aired there when they clearly are not.
