Happy Birthday, CBC and Radio Canada. ‘ You made it this far, but do you.think you can continue for another 25 years? Maybe I'm optimistic in believing that you can, but there are qualifications in my optimism, CBC president Al Johnson, made a public apology to Canadians at the time of the big debate on the role of Radio - Canada in promoting separa- tism. He said the CBC had not fulfilled its mandate’ in the Canadian ‘culture and made some suggestions as to how he could rectify the situation: 1) Introduction of a second “network to carry special docu- mentaries “and films as in Britain's BBC 2 network, with -no commercials, 2) Possible regionalisation of more programs; 3) Increase Canadian con- tent, which CBC reckons to be 70 per cent now. ‘My ‘guarded’ optimism would require some changes in present executive. policy in re- -gards to planning and regional affairs. Many people here in the West, especially in B.C., refer to CBC as TBC, or the Toronto Broadcasting-Company. That is a very definite impression one gets in this neck ‘of: the woods. The greater majority of plays emanating from the Toronto and Mortreal studios concern. smut, swear- ing, violence and a lack of plot. The National always comes from the, Big ‘T, those awful songs” come from the Country and West- m Alberta and ‘phe Bottke tae and Irish Rovers shows from Vancouver, the only two to gain’ ‘full inter- national success and bring in cash for the CBC. My. biggest complaint 'is that appalling obsession of CBC in wrecking my viewing with some miserable live sportscast. The CBC must learn to consider the requirements of the non- sportsminded viewers who make up the majority of the Canadian public. -. I believe a completely separate sports network should be set up by the broadcasting companies and. be. totally. fi- nanced by. advertising. CBC would then cover sports the ‘building. of -a new’ studio: , Aboro artmaction WALLAN POTS ' ne SONQUEROR, % QUERO) Pr tan Siete 2 Columbia — Each month; the programs. - complex in . Toronto costing some $200 million. This is way too much for the real require- ments of CBC and takes valu- able’money away from the far “more important part of CBC, funding programs. ° I see the need for more studio space, but I am-sure that up to $40 million would be more than adequagqte for the require- ments, especially if CBC em: barked on an efficiency “drive within its hierarchy, cutting out the deadwood, reducing the number of executives and Bs sistants, + The board of ‘directors would be the first to go, to be replaced by a board made up of executive producers from each region, representing both tele- vision and radio. The producers would have to come from the region and worked continuous- ly there for a minimum of five years, preferably 10. Funds for broadcasting would be divided equally amongst the regions and more regional programing produced for the network. More program contracts with: external. pro- duction companies be encour- aged, as happens in the U.S.—. and I do not mean game shows either. —~ + Co-production between CBC and Radio Canada and also European networks should be very actively encouraged as a majority of Canadians are of European origin, as well as providing a large market for our products. Regarding the U.S.,; pro; grams should be more equitab- ly exchanged, especially with the Public Television Network, replacing the present low qual- ity products - Hollywood « is selling to us.

CBC radio, since the re- moval of commercials, has im- proved considerably in quality, but I think that the ‘heavy’ pro- grams, such as Saturday opera should be transferred to the - FM network, where stereo sys- tems can do it justice. CBC FM should ke ex- tensively increased so all Cana- dians can receive its programs. More light music ‘should be played on the CBC AM service in the evenings, as well as play: E MOST HILARIOUS _. These are my i ideas for the next 25 years, but I am sure _ other people have suggestions. If they want U.S, products, then I suggest tuning into CTV and the private’ stations, but CBC should be Canadian in content and policy. rie PaRreren rir arerene rarer) Entertainment” Pages’ - News and Ads Deadline. 5 p.m. Mondays 5 KRRAKKKKKRERERE KER io a 7 P24 SILVER.
