Excellent coverage of the news. I don’t always listen as I watch The National (the coverage is very similar) but when I do it is great. Very good use of the audio format.
Too much USA

So much focus on a country that is not Canada. Good for American listeners (if) but not for Canadians who have their own culture and news events. CBC making itself irrelevant.
Good comprehensive news cast
