Next up on JACK FM: Angélique Kidjo

• “It is moving away from something only the public broadcaster can do to something many private broadcasters already do” – Ian Morrison, Friends of Canadian Broadcasting
• “Anyone who thinks private broadcasters are doing what this ‘new’ Radio 2 will do is vastly overestimating private broadcasters” – Valerie Hunter

I looked over the playlists for Buck 65’s Drive and excerpted the first pair of songs played the first day, the second pair from the second day, and so on.

• “Dreamer,” Grant, Jenn
• “Myriad Harbour,” New Pornographers
• “I’m a Mountain,” Harmer, Sarah
• “Gimme Shelter,” Kidjo, Angélique
• “Poor Helpless Dreams,” Sexsmith, Ron
• “Annalisa,” MacLeod, Paul
• “Measures and Scales,” Jill Barber
• «Ange gardien», Stéfie Shock
• “Where and When,” Hayden
• “Vanorapa,” Chiwoniso
• “Stolen Earrings,” Two Hours’ Traffic
• “That Summer,” Andy Stochansky

Then I asked Friends of Canadian Broadcasting to tell me exactly which private broadcaster is playing any of those songs. (Not “many private broadcasters” – I’d be happy with just one citation.) If they bother to respond, I’ll report it. But could they have been bullshitting all along?
