I have just one other question on this point about the possibilities that exist with a public broadcaster that don't exist with a private broadcaster. It seems to me that especially the younger generation wants to relate to media in a participatory way. They want something they can put their fingers in, and mould, and move, and change.
We have the infrastructure with our public broadcaster. At the studios in Montreal, we saw grade school classes from here in Montreal who come and make their own radio programs. That would be an impossible situation in any other context. There is the ability, for example, to have a national discourse on radio, as we do with Rex Murphy's show: on English radio we have two hours every Sunday during which people from across the country debate really difficult issues, and everyone is able to participate.
I see that possibility with a public broadcaster, and it seems to me that is indicative of where people want to go with media. They want content. They want something they can participate in. And if it's just a wall of sound that's coming out of Los Angeles, they will tune it out and go to their iPod instead, because they'd rather choose what they want to listen to. They don't have to listen to the traditional broadcast.
I'm just looking to see if there's a sense from you, as writers, that we have an ability and an opportunity to move forward with public broadcast in a really innovative and interesting way. Given the challenges of our universe, it might be even more interesting now.
