Folk music is on the television all the time up here in Canada. Mind you, it doesn't do me much good because I don't own a TV, but its there for people who want to watch it. Mostly celtic and celtic influenced stuff, but better than the days of the 1980's when CBC cancelled the Ryan's Fancy TV show, which used to feature guests from North America, the UK, and Ireland. The man who cancelled it said he never again wanted to hear fiddles on national television. Natalie and Ashley have put an end to that, although this being Canada the show times are changed from time to time to accomodate the Stanley Cup playoffs.:)
