	[618 sq ft = 57 sq m. Maybe 24 feet square?]

  All this week on Inside the CBC, you'll get an insiders' view of three
   of the most interesting rooms at CBC Vancouver:
   
   [video_r3.jpg] Tuesday: [189]CBC Radio 3       
   CBC Radio three operates on the Sirius satellite network and through
   its nationally recognized podcast. You'll get a look inside their
   workspace and the [190]Alexis Mazurin studio, and meet the people who
   put Radio 3 on the air.
   [video_s3.jpg] Wednesday: Studio 3: Drama and Foley
   I think Studio 3 is the most interesting studio in the Vancouver
   broadcast centre: It's where radio dramas are recorded, and include
   all the fun sound effect machines (like the door of a thousand  
   doors!).
   [video_master.jpg] Thursday: Radio Master Control               
   This is where it all gets put together: in Master Control. You'll
   learn what it takes to get a radio network on the air, and what 
   happens if I yank out the two cables plugged into the main patch-bay.
   So, as they say, stay tuned!
