CBC's 'Q' taking time slot left vacant by 'Sounds Like Canada'

TORONTO - CBC Radio One's popular arts and entertainment program "Q," hosted by Jian Ghomeshi, is moving into a mid-morning time slot this fall, airing every weekday after "The Current" to replace "Sounds Like Canada."

Starting in September, "Q" will air from 10 to 11:30 a.m. ET, and will be expanded on Friday mornings to a two-hour broadcast. The show will be repeated at 10 p.m. each weeknight.

"Q" is taking the spot occupied by Shelagh Rogers and "Sounds Like Canada."

Rogers left the show at the end of May but will be back on Radio One in the fall with a new show on Canadian literature broadcast from Vancouver on Saturday afternoons. It's yet to be named.

A new afternoon current affairs show is also in the works this fall on Radio One, taking over the spot left vacant by "Q." Aamer Haleem, a London-born, Canadian-raised broadcaster who has worked as a VH1 host and celebrity interviewer, will oversee the still-unnamed show.

"Two new shows, a new time slot for an audience favourite, and the return of many ratings winners make CBC Radio One the destination for insightful information this fall," Chris Boyce, CBC Radio's programming director, said in a news release.

"We're excited to bring listeners programming that serves their range of passions and interests, from the book lover to the news junkie to the comedian in all of us."

Highlights of the CBC Radio One fall schedule:

"Q" - Monday to Thursday from 10 to 11:30 a.m. and Fridays from 10 to 12 p.m.

"White Coat, Black Art" - Mondays at 11:30 a.m. and Saturdays at 4:30 p.m.

Though he'd taken piano lessons as a shaver, he taught himself how to play the guitar, generally by listening to records from his parents' assemblage (Alice Paul Simon) and alternative radio receiver (Bone Jam, Dave Matthews). While poring over at NYU, Hest hit the East Coast college lap, acting a mix of covers and his possess substantial. The exposure built him a estimable regional following, which he nurtured with self-released albums in 2001 and 2002 (Coming Home and Story After Story, respectively). Hest signed with Columbia Records in 2003 and issued Mortal to Tell a twelvemonth later. Created with producer David Rolfe, the album was a merge of new and re-recorded corporeal and match comfortably into the well-appointed adult alternative territory of artists like Josh Kelley and John Mayer.

Robert Goulet - Martin Of Rowan Amp Martin Tema Dead At 86

Dick Martin, one half of the comedy team of Rowan and Martin, who hosted the seminal
Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In in the 1960s, died Saturday of respiratory complications
in Santa Monica, CA at age 86. His comedic partner, Dan Rowan, died in 1987. L
augh-In's appeal was its irreverence. It famously persuaded Richard Nixon, then
making a presidential bid, to deliver its signature line, "Sock it to me." In its
obituary, the New York Times quoted Martin as once saying that the audience
wants "to see sacred cows kicked over" and that the show contrived sketches involving
celebrities just to be "irreverent and silly." He noted that other variety shows
might pay the arch singer Robert Goulet $10,000 to sing three songs. "We hire Robert
Goulet, pay him $210 and drop him through a trap door."
