Does Atlantic Canada CBC have new presenters?

We made a pilgrimage to CBC St John's while in Newfoundland. We went there with the intentions of blagging a CBC sticker from the impoverished mother corporation. Instead, we spent an hour and a half with their enthusiastic PR person who gave us a fabulous guided tour which took us through both radio and television operations with copious introductions to staff including CBC TV news anchors. We are pictured here on the news set. Had we got to CBC half an hour earlier, we could have had breakfast with the president, John Rabinovich who was there to tour the refurbished facility.

The weather got better as our day to leave the Rock approached. We saw St John's in the sun, had some good hiking and actually saw more than 200 feet from Cabot Tower on Signal Hill. Armed with our CBC pens and flashlights, we headed to Argentia in daylight for the 14 hour trip back to mainland Canada.

Maritime Marine, where little works in the terminals, had a lonely TV in an upstairs lounge with one channel. To our glee, Tina discovered said TV five minutes before Coronation Street so we were able to get our first Corrie fix in three weeks. Needless to say, and unfortunately, we were the only ones there enthralled by the programming.
