Jesus... this is like the month of angry letters for me...

Dear Sir or Madam,

Today I was shocked and confused to learn that CBC has decided to ditch it's iconic theme song to "Hockey Night In Canada" after nearly 40 years.

It is baffling as to why the CBC management could possibly assume that they would ever need to replace such a timeless and triumphant work.

In fact, many of the decisions made by CBC management in the last year seem designed to spit in the face of Canada's hallowed institutions. It seems that it was not enough to pre-empt The National for a reality TV show, nor was it enough to axe North America's only remaining radio orchestra, but rather that the par for the course is to kick about Canada's favourite sports broadcast.

And while the former two offences may have gone unnoticed by much of the Canadian public, the CBC can bet that the majority of Canadians want CBC's new management to keep it's grubby managerial paws of Hockey Night in Canada, and keep them off permanently.

If the tone of this letter offends, I apologize. Nevertheless, the CBC's management would do well to remember that they will not survive as a broadcaster by alienating the most loyal members of their audience.

Thank you for your co-operation.
