Removing radio channels compromises qualify of life

Dear editor, I am a longtime supporter of the Friends of CBC, who struggle to maintain the standard of radio that links Canada.

Dear editor,

I am a longtime supporter of the Friends of CBC organization, which struggles to maintain the standard of radio that links Canada coast to coast in the face of government cuts.

But my anxiety about diminishing service is now compounded by the loss of CBC Radio Two as well as other FM radio stations.

Because of an apparently arbitrary decision by Shaw Cable, my house is silent; no more Choral Concert on Sunday mornings,no more Tempo with Judy Nasralla, no more stimulating discussions.

The quality of life in the Comox Valley and probably in other isolated Canadian communities has been seriously compromised.

Kate Fairley,
