Could it be, CBC?

could it be that I actually like the flow of music on CBC Radio Two? …hmmmm….

Last year when Radio Two changed its format, it was met with stinging criticism as it cut back it’s classical music offerings and diversified the genres it plays.

But last week I was hanging out in Toronto at my brother’s house and he put on Radio Two in the morning and we left it on all day. I was struck by how well the mix of programming seemed to go with my mood. Most of the day is still classical music, the afternoon drive show is all kinds of songs by bands I have never heard from, and in the evening we get jazz, a concert recording (which lives online afterwards) and The Signal, which is the closest thing – though not close enough yet – to the BBC’s excellent Late Junction.

I’m going to give CBC Radio Two a chance and see where it takes me.
