Most of the time I’m up early, but there are times when I’ll set a radio alarm just to make sure I’m out of bed at a particular time. My radio is set for CBC FM, and I’m usually greeted with gentle classical music that pulls me out of my sleep. A minute to enjoy the music, a long stretch, and I’m off and running for the day.

 

It’s been that way for a couple of years now, but today was a shocker. At 05:45, my lovely symphony turned into a marching band and brought me to attention immediately. I couldn’t wait to shut the thing off. Nothing in particular against marching music, but at that time in the morning? AACCKK.

 

Please give back my CBC. Whoever is running the show right now has no sense of timing.
