http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/returnclassicalmusictocbcradio/ On March 19 2007 CBC Radio Two began a new evening schedule, replacing "Music for Awhile" with "Tonic" and "In Performance" with "Canada Live". In making these changes, CBC Radio Two has effectively removed Classical Music from the evening schedule of CBC Radio Two without consulting CBC Radio Two listeners. There has been no public forum available to CBC Radio Two listeners to express their opinions on these programming changes. This petition requests that CBC Radio provide public forums where listeners may express their opinions on the new programming, including (but not limited to): - a web page on the CBC Radio Two web site where all feedback submitted by CBC Radio Two listeners is presented for all to view, whether or not CBC Radio management agrees with the opinions expressed - public meetings where CBC Radio Two listeners may express their opinions directly to CBC Radio management - phone-in shows on CBC Radio One and Two where listeners may express their opinions and exchange views with CBC Radio management We, the undersigned, believe that by neglecting to solicit the opinions of Canadians in making these changes, the management of CBC Radio has violated the Broadcasting Policy for Canada, as described in clause 3.(1) of the Broadcasting Act, 1991, which states: It is hereby declared as the broadcasting policy for Canada that (a) the Canadian broadcasting system shall be effectively owned and controlled by Canadians If, after a reasonable period of full public consultation, the weight of public opinion supports the return of Classical Music to the evening schedule, then it is requested that CBC Radio management listen to the desires of the CBC Radio listening audience and return Classical Music to the evening schedule of CBC Radio Two, as it had existed prior to March 19, 2007. We respectfully request that CBC Radio management implement the recommendations made above and that the House Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage and CRTC monitor CBC Radio to ensure that such recommendations have in fact been implemented.
