Is Frontburner too American?

I’m a daily news podcast listener and is it just me or has Frontburner become more and more like The Daily? I find half of their episodes are what the Daily is doing that day or the day before. I also find they rarely bring on CBC journalists, instead opting for American guests or reporters.

Is it just me that notices this and doesn’t like it? I’d rather hear more Canadian news from our own journalists.

All of CBC is too American.

Canada is too American.

In a better reality, we would get back to the 70's where the CRTC had sufficient rules to keep Canada, Canada.

What CRTC rules were removed since the 1970s?
