I have to say I’m very proud of our troops fighting over in Afghanistan. Over 100 have died for a US cause. We are helping the US and then Fox News come out with a blatant onslaught on our troops. It’s not enough that they have to worry about getting killed by the enemy...now they're being attack by the media in the US. As a a guy who’s got alot of Stand-up comedy experience behind him, I know better than anyone there are certain things you should not say or do in the name of comedy. Like look at a woman heckler and call her the “C” word. That show, The Red Eye has crossed all lines of comedy and good taste by slamming our efforts in the Middle East. I’m sorry Fox News, but you guys really are a bunch of.... “C” words.
Please remember that we, Canada, are the only country in the course of your history that ever KICKED YOUR ASS in a war...REMEMBER, WE WON!!
CBC Radio get off the pot and sell some advertising. This would ensure income for you and your employees.
Spokes people for the CBC have said that they wouldn’t consider selling ads on CBC Radio. They would consider selling off assets, programming cuts and the biggest, they didn’t deny, laying people off.
Lets look at this, selling off assets, a good idea. Programming cuts would lead to... layoffs. Granted the CBC is the biggest employer of “Dead Weight” in the country...not to mention the CRTC. So some lay off should be deemed necessary. Now if you sold advertising that would increase your bottom line and you would’nt have to keep running to the Canadian tax payer for funds or maybe less funds. With an increased bottom line you could keep most of your people employed. Keep that programming, yes the same programming with the lowest ratings in Canada. That should keep the “Friends of Canadian Broadcasting” happy.
So as it stands right now the CBC and The “Friends of Canadian Broadcasting” would rather see people laid off and lives of hard working broadcasters ruined, have programming cut, hand the Canadian Tax Payer a bigger bill from the CBC, than sell a bit of advertising time. WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING!!
I voice a ton of commercials written by others and it just kills me to see clients being ripped off. For those of you who write the odd commercial, you’ve got to be rubbing your head these days. Your hearing the same thing from clients, “I’m going to cut back on my advertising”, “It’s not working for me”. I would hazard to guess that you’re writing the wrong type of ads. Ads that worked for your client 1 year ago won’t work in these times. Folks today are buying with their head and not their heart. You can’t scream Sale, Sale, anymore. Trying to install a sense of “feeling” and talking to the right “intuitive” side of the brain won’t work. In these times buyers have switched to the “Thinking” side of the brain. So you have to give them clarity and direct information. Yes back to common sense and nothing but basic information will work in this economy, “touchy feely” is out. If you’re a client, look for more bang for the buck. If an agency tells you that it’s going to take them a week to write a spot...you are being ripped off. Give them a deadline. Of course if you keep running back to them with changes, it will take that long. Remember, it’s tempting to put everything you do in one commercial...resist this NOW. Put one idea or thing in one commercial. This will not confuse the listener. In Radio at least and to some extent in Television, if you think you must advertise everything you do, get more than 1 ad done up and run them on a rotating basis. We offer 3 ad’s for the price of 2 and this way your potential customer won’t get bored with hearing or watching the same ad all the time. If you have any questions about this I’d be glad to talk to you further about your next successful ad campaign. Bryan Cox bigbry@sasktel.net
Allot say that Gangs are ruling the country, weather it be the US or Canada. Asian, Mexican, Mafia, Black, Motorcycle, what ever. With my tongue planted firmly in my cheek, I’m going to look at gangs for a sec here because here in Canada we have new anti-gang laws going into place. This might fit any where in the World though. Look up the definition of word “Gang” and you come up with (1) are generally perceived as a distinct aggregation by others in their neighborhood...translation...a bunch of guys that always hang out together. (2) recognise themselves as a denotable group (almost invariably with a group name);...translation....a bunch of guys that have a name for their group. (3) have been involved in a sufficient number of incidents to call forth a consistent negative response from neighbourhood residents and/or law enforcement agencies.....translation...if the people around you and the cops don’t like what your doing...you’re in a gang. Another definition is...A gang is a group of people who through the organisation, formation, and establishment of an assemblage share a common identity.... There is a massive comparison screaming to be made here. The definition of a gang compared to Political parties or politicians. -Gangs...have a name tattooed on their body or embroidered on the back of there jacket. Political Parties have a name too usually with some sort of symbol. -Gangs have to vote you in through some sort of initiation. You can join a political Party but to become a politician...you have to go through an election as kind of a initiation. -Gangs break the law...some politicians and parties break the law too. (Taxes, Bribes etc.) -Gangs sell bad drugs, Politicians run the health care system and buy and sell good drugs. -Gangs unfairly extort money from good people, politicians unfairly tax good people. -Gangs do things and act in a way that most people don’t like, Political Parties and Politicians do things and act in a way that more people don’t like. -Gangs hold conventions, Political Parties hold conventions -Gangs gather at a club house, Politicians gather at the Hill. Well this list could go on forever, but you get the idea. I’m not in favour of gangs, except for the ones that use to beat me up in the school yard...hey you guys are still cool...nudgen nudge, wink, wink!! But as we grow past those gangs we learn to take the punches from a whole new legal gang. Now more than ever we are all relying on the gang we elected to help us and show us a light on the other side of the school yard. I can only hope that you and your family stay and work together through these terrible times. The Gang we elected can’t give us all the answers, some of those have to come from deep down inside you.
PS ... I hope some lawyer doesn't use this in some kind of twisted defence. Please feel free to add any more comparisons that you might think of. Thanks for the read and comments are always welcome. Bryan Cox

The CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) is in trouble like so many broadcasters in Canada. Just the other day Greg Weston hit the nail on the head when he wrote a very cool article about the CBC...MORE. “Mr. Weston writes, "The CBC brass evidently continues to operate on the assumption there isn't much a government cheque can't cure." CBC/Radio-Canada has not asked Government for a hand-out, an increased subsidy or an increase to our appropriation. In this economic environment, when every industry is in difficulty, everyone has to tighten their belts. We understand that.”...MORE. At that time, it’s true they didn’t ask for a hand out but a day later this happened.... “The CBC expects serious funding shortfalls in the upcoming fiscal year and is looking to the federal government for financial help. CBC president Hubert Lacroix has said that a $65-million advertising shortfall forced the corporation to draw from reserve funds to balance its books this fiscal year.”...MORE. The CBC has become to comfortable. Everyone that works at the CBC is looked after by a strong union and gets a fantastic salary. There are those that don’t want advertising anywhere near the CBC. Spouting things like, “it’s a National Treasure” or “it’s all about our Canadian Identity”. Come on WAKE UP!! If you want to be in broadcasting in Canada or anywhere...it’s about MONEY!! Advertising brings in Money and the sales force at the CBC are lazy!! On CBC television for example all you get are ads for...car insurance for the over 50 crowd...Canada’s biggest panhandler, Rod Black, asking for money to help some starving kid...how to get a reverse mortgage for you home and just when you are having dinner..some kid with leprosy pops on the screen. My guess is that you’ll be able to help those kids by driving to the bank in your well insured car and withdrawing oodles of cash from your reverse mortgage. Come on CBC get out there, hit the pavement and sell advertising time. While you’re at it CBC, make or bring in shows that real Canadians want to watch. Then you’ll be turning advertisers away fro the door. Use the money that taxpayers give you...smartly. If you don’t, you’ll end up doing pledge drives like PBS to protect the “Canadian Identity” type of programming. Thanks for the read Bryan Cox
