CBC Lockout

In the Halifax Daily News this morning, I read about another CMG-campus/community radio collaboration. CBC Lockout says:

Find out which songs Don Connolly, Costas Halavrezos and Carmen Klassen hum on the picket line. Radio reporter Laura Graham hosts the Soundtrack of Our (Locked-out) Lives every Tuesday from 2:30-3:30 on CKDU, 97.5 FM.

Should make for some good listening on the line. If you don’t live within the CKDU broadcast range, you can always listen online.

Back home

I arrived safely in Halifax just after midnight. Will be on the picket line tomorrow.

Here’s another excellent report from Stephanie Domet about the lockout.

I’ll soon join Stephanie and my other Haligonian collagues on the line. That’s right, I’m headed to Halifax this Monday, and will stay for about a week.

From Peter:

[T]his lockout is going to result in a sort of “dark ages” in terms of the digital fossil record. Our ancestors (our even ourselves, in a year) will go the CBC website to search for stories about things that are happening now and will find nothing. Worse, when our friends at the CBC are allowed to work again, they will have no audio or video record of news that’s happening now. Which means that, in essence, nothing that is happening now is actually happening at all.
