I support the CBC and feel it has a critical role to play in our community. CBC Hamilton is a fantastic development. Something that took a very long time to achieve. Hamilton needs more diversity in media coverage and CBC Hamilton is a great addition. It's news coverage has been great considering the limited amount of resources (i.e., small number of reporters). It heritage coverage was also great.

That being said, I am also concern about the lack of coverage of the arts scene in Hamilton. Particularly given that CBC Hamilton is located on James Street North, the heart of the cultural and economic earthquake that is re-shaping Hamilton.

Hamilton is also a power house in terms of music, but you would never know it from the coverage of the city.

I am fine with the digital format but they need to improve it significantly, particularly in terms of feedback to articles.

I am very concern about the future of CBC Hamilton and how the cuts caused by the lost of the NHL revenue and budget cuts by the Federal government may eventually impact the Hamilton operations.
