In the news: MVP, jPod switch places

Bill Harris of the Toronto Star analyses the CBC schedule change:

  • MVP, jPod skedded for a changeup
    “Obviously, the fact that this move was deemed necessary isn’t great news for either show.

And nothing tends to do well on Fridays, regardless of the show or the network.” Read more.
