LOL!!! Poor Nichelle...

We are blessed with a national public radio channel in Canada, the CBC...and it has always aired the more intelligent stuff that commercial radio simply can't be bothered with. Why? Because it's run as a public service, that's why. Same deal as PBS in the USA, but the CBC was set up from the start AS a government-supported and fully funded national radio station. It's a wonderful alternative to the many commercial radio stations and it is blessed by NOT having any advertising intruding on the programming.

That's one of the great merits of having a socialist media outlet in a democratic society that also includes plenty of capitalism. That's what I believe in: a healthy combination of the two.
