Another bunch of poor slogs working for starvation wages. Elmer Hildrebrand may not be a Bell or Corus but he's learned well.

40% cancon. Ouch! How much of the 10 hours of spoken word each week will be paid for Jesus stuff? Does some board op plopping on a 30 minute Focus On The Family tape qualify as
local programming? It's being broadcast from a local tape machine or hard drive, not off a bird. Would voice tracking that originates in Swift Current qualify as local if it's mixed with
music in a Steinbach based automation system?

Just curious.
