The CBC sausage

Did you know CBC has an official blog for its English operations? Well, now you do and you should check up Inside the CBC. The head "blogger" is Tod Maffin, known by some as the man who ran a very popular site during the CBC lockout.

Typical tidbits include bits on retiring anchors/reporters, odd things about the CBC building (behold the Toronto Hallway of Awkwarness), the fact that CBC employees undewent sensitivity training, and tours of CBC buildings.

And I like the reason CBC put up this blog.

I think they listened to the many employees who said communication could be more direct. And the public, I always felt, wanted the CBC to have more of a human tone. We’re not a big faceless corporation, we’re a creative group of cool people and maybe this will help showcase some of what they do and what you’re doing too.

Another reason to like them: LOLCBCats.
