CBC lockout updates

A few things:

1. Apparently, CBC's attempt at broadcasting football without professional staff did not go well last night.

2. We've been linked to as a CBC lockout blog by John Gushue ... Dot Dot Dot, but actually we're not a CBC lockout blog. This is a links/news update blog for "The Newspaper Guild/The Next Generation" and some members (and the chair) of that group are locked out. So naturally, the rest of us are quite interested, but we're also going to have news of unions and younger workers generally.

3. I might have a TeaMakers clue: Someone from inside CBC's Ottawa office came to this blog on Friday through a Technorati search on "tea makers." Don't know whether it's Ouimet him/herself, or just someone inside that building who was curious, but there it is, for whatever it's worth.

4. Calling Steve Dondley at Communicate or Die: Have you seen the blog explosion around this lockout? I'd have e-mailed, but I couldn't find your e-mail address, and I know you check your trackbacks. Anyway, I have a fairly up-to-date list in the sidebar, but there are undoubtedly more ...

That's all I know.

Sorry about that - used a blanket term to collect things together. Will adjust my wording.

Oh, it's OK. I just didn't want anyone to be disappointed by our lack of insider knowledge.
