Spokesman Jeff Keay said, “I’m sure there are going to be people disappointed in this and that’s unfortunate. We have to make decisions sometimes that not everyone agrees with, but I think at the end of the day, it was a successful experiment.”
Now, the net work might broadcast the Stanley Cup playoffs in Punjabi and other languages. But, from the regular season on words it will be English only this is begins on Thursday. The cancellation follows deep staff and program cuts at the CBC, which faced a $171 million deficit last year.
