Shock & amazed!

W/ the job that I have in PR, whenever I or one of my colleagues comes across an article about media, we send it the everyone in the office. I got a CP Wire article about my favourite Much Music VJ leaving... FOR CBC NEWSWORLD!?!?!?!?

Not sure if anyone's heard yet, but that's right... George Stroumboulopoulos (try spelling that w/out looking at his bio or an article on him!), the feisty and intellectual media personality that he is (& someone who I always thought was too smart for Much... sorry Moses!) is leaving the mostly youth targeted channel for the public/private sponsored network.

How excited am I!?! Although most of the people I work w/ don't like the CBC, I gotta admit, I love their informational programming. Don't necessarily believe they should've spent $2 million dollars in order (OK, that price tag might be a smidge high... but it was a ridiculous price iirc) to allow the Cdn public to have access to the mini-series. Anywho, come mid-January, George will be seen 4x a week on an "hour-long, personality-driven look at issues currently resonating with the Canadian public," on Newsworld.

Side note: His Greatest Cdn is still ranked at number 1!!!!
