The BBC's COO, Caroline Thomson, is in Ottawa today - as keynote speaker at a conference organised by CBC/Radio Canada to mark CBC's 75th birthday. The theme is "The Role and Future of Public Broadcasting in the Digital Age".
CBC/Radio Canada is in the middle of a five year plan called Everyone, Everyway, which includes these commitments.
• maintaining and expanding regional programming genres beyond news to reflect local communities;
• expanding service in selected underserved markets to address gaps in coverage, with several new local
station openings planned (primarily radio)
Let's hope she has time to find out how they're managing that. But she's on a quick turn-around. On Wednesday she gives another keynote speech - this time to a Voice of the Listener and Viewer Conference, themed "Public Broadcasting Under Siege ?"
