CBC should be ashamed of itself

While watching the moving and sombre ceremony on May 6 over the lunch hour on CBC News, I was dismayed to watch the coverage switch at precisely 1 p.m. to a rerun of Murdoch Mysteries.

This was right in the middle of the ceremony while service members’ headwear was being carried to hearses on the tarmac at CFB Trenton.

I would think the national, publicly-funded broadcaster would have its priorities straight but apparently not.

I had to change the channel to a Vancouver feed to watch the remainder of the ceremony.

Regardless of potential advertising revenue implications, this broadcast should take precedence.

These heroes deserve nothing less.

Shame on you, CBC.
