So I had the TV on to the CBC evening news the other night while making dinner, and much to my surprise, they showed the BBC world report instead of the actual CBC news. It seemed weird but I didn't give it much thought. Then, on the weekend, we were watching CFL football on CBC but oddly enough, there were no commentators! First ever sporting event that was aired with no commentators, only the PA announcer.

So, today, the mystery was solved. I was flipping through a newspaper on the subway and discovered that the CBC has actually been locked out. I didn't even know TV stations could be locked out.

Actually, judging by the fact that I actually enjoyed football without the boisterous talking heads, and I actually enjoyed the BBC world report... maybe the CBC shoudl end this lockout before we all get too used to this...
