Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. A fascinating look inside the complex questions of not only "what should the CBC be", but also "how can the public broadcaster accomplish that financially?" Answers are *not* easy, no matter how you look at it. About 33% of this I agreed with Mr. Stursberg, about 33% of it I understood that both sides had points in their arguments, and the final third I wanted to punch him in the nose (either because he was not realizing what he was saying was being received by others, or because I disagreed with him that strongly). If you've ever thought to yourself "you know what the CBC should do…" then this is worth the read. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

A Globe and Mail top 100 book of 2012 The ultimate CBC insider exposes the controversies, successes and dead ends of his time at the top. In 2004, CBC television had sunk to its lowest audience share in its history. That same year, Richard Stursberg, an avowed popularizer with a reputation for radical action, was hired to run English services. With incisive wit, Stursberg tells the story of the struggle that resulted -- a struggle that lasted for six turbulent and controversial years. Shortly after Stursberg arrived, the corporation locked out its employees for two months. Four years later, he signed the most harmonious labour contract to date. He lost the television rights for the 2010 and 2012 Olympic Games. He won the biggest NHL contract in history. He had unprecedented ratings successes. He had terrible flops. He enjoyed the best radio, television and online ratings in CBC's history. He fought endless wars with the CBC president and board about the direction of the corporation and ultimately was dismissed. This is the story of our most loved and reviled cultural institution during its most convulsive and far-reaching period of change. It is for those who think the CBC has lost its way, those who love where it is, and those who think it should not exist in the first place. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
