With serial TV host George Stroumboulopoulos leaving Hockey Night in Canada, Jesse and Ashley discuss Canadian media’s obsession with keeping established stars on air. After the cancellation of her show DNTO, Sook-Yin Lee will be hosting a CBC summer series. And Evan Solomon is moving back to TV after being fired from CBC’s Power and Politics around this time last year.

Plus, how objective should–and can–the CBC be? Here’s Frank Koller’s blog post that Jesse refers to on the show.
