That's how the CBC has stayed on the air. I worked in Ottawa at the supper hour program for many years. I left in 2000, just at the point when they cut the supper hours back to half an hour and they cut the staff by 40%. One of the reasons I left was I thought this is not what I want to do. This is going to take all the fun and pleasure out of it, rushing to, as we say, feed the goat, get something on the air.
Recently, when the CBC went back to a full hour, there was no increase in staff, so the same people who were barely hanging on producing a half-hour program are now expected to produce an hour. The same thing happens in radio.
Certainly you should be concerned. That's why the CBC needs more money.
