CBC pride

[vaneramos]

CBC Radio 2's weekday morning request program, Here's To You, is planning a pride program on June 28, marking the anniversary of the Stonewall Riot. CBC is our national public broadcasting system, and Radio 2 is mostly-Classical radio. I heard about the program on Friday and emailed a request. I just received an acknowledgement that my request will be included in the program, which airs from 10 a.m. to noon next Wednesday. Outside Canada, you can tune in CBC Radio 2 on the web:

I requested "All I Ask Of You" (from Phantom of the Opera) as performed by The King's Singers, and gave something else as an alternate in case they don't have the recording. It's one of the pieces the Rainbow Chorus performed in Montreal.

Is the pride program only running from 10 till noon? Reason I ask is, the show starts at 9, but maybe the first hour is "regular programming" up till the 10:00 newsbreak.

I'm also curious as to what you requested, but I'm willing to wait till the 28th and be surprised when Shelley mentions your name on the air. :)

(I listen to Here's To You most days while driving to work. Thank the gods for the CBC or I would've pulled the radio out of the dashboard long ago.)

Yeah, the program starts at night, but they said my request would air between 10 and noon. I hope you get to hear it. I don't listen to it as often as I would like, because CBC reception isn't great in Guelph. I mostly listen in the car. Hopefully I'll be able to listen online that day.
