In the news: CBC schedule doesn’t deserve scorn

From Alex Strachan of CanWest News Service:

  • My turn on CBC: Double the Jeopardy!, double the entertainment, I say.
    “Could there be a bigger non-story in this country right now than CBC’s decision to air Jeopardy! five nights a week, and hold the one-night-a-week Marketplace back until January. Yes, yes, I know. Chances are, you’ve never heard of Marketplace, let alone watched. Welcome to North American network television in the 21st century.” Read more.

Chris was an active, athletic guy until the high-pressure office job hit. Thus began his rapid decline into a sedentary life of take out meals and an expanding waistline. Now his body is “revolting” – in more ways than one. He has overcome cancer but still relies heavily on over-the-counter medications to make it through the day. Chris knows that while his body is failing him, he is failing his wife and daughter.
