CBC Radio Overnight all weekend?

with 2 comments

Why, when I visit the CBC Radio portal page on Sunday evening, does it think that CBC Radio Overnight is playing in all time zones?

This is the second weekend I can remember CBC Radio Overnight supposedly playing all Sunday. Now, for the record, I do think the new CBC Radio page is an improvement over the previous version. The “Find a Program” filter is pretty slick.

But why can’t the site reliably display correct program information?

I mean, over at PublicRadioFan.com, I can create a list of my favourite stations, and it displays not just what’s playing on them now, but also what’s coming up in the future. Hands-down, it’s a better source of program information than the CBC’s own site. And from what I can tell, PublicRadioFan is run by one guy, Kevin A. Kelly, in his spare time.

Seriously. Come on.

  1. Because in your evening, it is set for Toronto time.

    This is a common fault of CBCes in the Toronto area.

    This is why all programming should be moved to Victoria on
    the West Coast for an acute awareness of time zones.

    And wha’t wrong with CBC Overnight All Night All Day?

    I see that the WRN lineup on the Galaxy satellite has been ‘adjusted”,
    so no Radio Budapest, but maybe RFI and some other stations may play on CBCOh.

  2. Wow. You’ve officially replaced Phil in the “most complaining on a blog that I read” category. Congratulations.
