Please help save CounterSpin

Relatively speaking, one of the most democratic weekly programs on CBC that covers almost all significant events in Canadian and International politics with a fair approach to provide all sides of the arguments with the opportunity to be heard is CounterSpin in which those voices that are not heard elsewhere are given a rare opportunity to be heard.

In this program, always there are debates between a balanced number of participants with usually opposing views. There are always audience in the studio that can ask questions from the members of the panel or just express their own points of view about the issue.

Unfortunately, this program is scheduled to end after this season. Please help save this tiny opportunity to keep the democracy alive. The democracy that is not strictly in the hands of some powerful media to decide what we should hear and what we shouldn't. The voices and different opinions are heard in CounterSpin. Please help save it. Complete version of all its programs/debates are also posted on it's website. So it is not limited to Canadian TV viewers only.

There is a petition made up for this program that is addressed to the Board of Directors of CBC. Please take part in it. Sign the petition and help save CounterSpin.
