Win a few, lose a few
Jun. 18th, 2010 12:05 pmThe CBC Radio Saturday morning show Go! will be ending, with its final broadcast in just over a week.
For the most part, it's been pretty annoying — occasionally listenable, but mostly drivelous and regularly obnoxious enough to make me hurry around the house to shut off any radios, i.e., not even tolerable as background noise. I can't say I'll miss it.
The show's host will, apparently, be back with a new Saturday morning show in the fall. Feh. I miss the shows hosted by Arthur Black, and before him, Allan McFee: they were aimed at a somewhat higher intellectual level. I'm not looking for anything particularly deep on a Saturday morning, but I like to hear reasonably intelligent interviews even if the subject is on the odd side ("Eclectic Circus", yeah...) and an absence of wacky sound clips that turn the show into the audio equivalent of a music video.
