CBC Radio 2 To Begin Airing Commercials?

Found this on Northwest Broadcasters http://members.shaw.ca/nwbroadcasters/recentnews.htm ......

"04/05/12 - The CBC has applied to the CRTC to run ads on CBC Radio 2 (CBU-FM 105.7 Vancouver) amid funding and job cuts. The Corporation faces a $115-million reduction in federal funding that will be phased in over the next three years. Jordan Press, Postmedia/Vancouver Sun..."

I read this and my blood ran cold......It's a pretty slippery slope because once advertising is accepted, the homogenization towards the same stuff you hear everywhere else begins......
 
Because we can hear the CBC on 690, or North of Seattle, 88.1, 88.9 [French], 92.1, and 105.7. And we have a few NW WA members here [like Bongwater].
