I know you were joking, but much more was made about "Wheel of Fortune" and "Jeopardy!" coming to CBC Television. For the record, this is the first U.S. public radio series on the CBC-- American Public Media beams the first hour of "As It Happens" into the states every weeknight (with the 6 p.m. newscast replaced by their own "Future Tense," although it has a new name branding it "Marketplace"-- this is because in most U.S. cities the newscast slot is at the bottom of the hour, although I assume that a local newscast or the BBC bottom- of-the-hour newscast could be inserted or, if "ATC"'s still in rotation when aired, Ann Taylor's bottom-of-the-hour newscast could also be inserted). PRI distributes the daily interview show "Q" and the similar-to-"TAL" "Wire-Tap." And several CBC shows are distributed to the U.S. by the online download co-op Public Radio Exchange, including the highbrow doc series "Ideas," the long-running science show "Quirks and Quarks" and the Kellior-ish "Vinyl Cafe." -- TV or Not TV ....
