CBC's news seems fine. They do a decent job on local reporting.

But I stopped enjoying their analysis and current affairs programming in the early 2000s. I'm not sure what changed, but the presenters and format really turned me off.

What do you base that statement on?

The first paragraph is based on my news listening habits.

The second paragraph is based on my desire to turn on CBC radio or a podcast. I used to enjoy Morningside, the House, Basic Black, As It Happens, Prime Time, Vinyl Cafe, and Ideas.

Around the time Definitely Not the Opera started, and Michael Enright got the Sunday morning show, I found that I just didn't want to listen as much. Shows started to be vehicles for their hosts. Some interviewers seemed to be reading from a prepared list of questions. Interviewees don't seem to be experts, so much as partisans (I don't need an LPC/CPC hack telling me how they're doing in the polls).

Local news programming remains fine. White Coat/Black Art provides a novel perspective. The Debaters is still funny. I have no desire to listen to other shows.

Sorry...the question was for the commenter above who said that a ton of money was wasted. My mistake.
