All in a weekend is done... It might as well be off air now that Dave isnt there...
It lost its flavor, no fun anymore, its dull and uneventful.
The weekend mornings are ruined for listeners.
I, for one, can't stand it anymore and YES I turn it off...

Well there's some alarmist, highly emotional tripe; yikes!

CBC conservative? Ha..there's an oxymoron for you.

Did she get cut because she was a former NDP candidate?

I think you're thinking of Anne Lagacé Dowson. Wood's politics have never been an issue, and your suggestion that the CBC is run by conservatives would no doubt make many of them laugh.

Did she get cut because she was a former NDP candidate? Is this political interference from the Conservative Party. They seem so intent in changing the CBC into a national mouthpiece for Mr. Harper. I can't count on the number of times he has been shown in a helicopter, fighter jet, or kissing babies. What about real critique of the PC assault on our social and political structures and services. Harper is a radical, making radical changes to our country, one budget cut at a time. This is revolution by stealth. I think if you want to be successful, you need to eliminate people like Nancy Wood. She is a very bright and perfectly bilingual threat to this stealth. She sees what is going on and is not afraid to ask questions. Well, now you can see her in french on Radio Canada, but the rest of Canada won't be able to benefit from her fine journalism. Harper's way is to silence opposing, rational opinion.

Missing Nancy Wood, she was much better than Mike Finnerty, BIG mistake !!

[...] Finnerty left Daybreak just over a year ago to take a job as multimedia news editor at London's The Guardian. He was replaced by a TV reporter and former Radio Noon host, Nancy Wood, and ... well, we all know how that turned out. [...]

I was so happy when I heard Nancy's voice on Daybreak when she returned to RADIO from TV. I remembered her from Radio Noon. Having been away a week and a half, I did not know she was gone.
I will definitely miss her pleasant voice and personality. Whoever 'they' are, they are surely doing their level best to kill CBC Radio.
A loyal CBC and once again very disappointed listener.

Nancy Wood is a butt-insky who can't help but interrupt her colleagues with stories about her kids at least twice every morning. Her interviewing skills on-air are completely unengaging. Her voice is flat, yet somehow condescending. Come on people, I'm not saying Ted Bird, but even Pierre Landry is better than Nancy Wood. And that's saying something.

Please, please, NOT Rukavina, his nasal twang is awful, as is his huge ego. He is not as intelligent as he would like us to think.

Now, Yvan Huneault, yes, would be great but isn't he a bit old? Actually I have no idea of his age so maybe he isn't too old.

He appears sometimes Saturday/Sunday mornings on Dave's show. Still hilarious.

I'm not in Montreal and haven't heard Nancy... however, I will point out that a 6 month stint is not nearly long enough to test out a host on any program. It doesn't make sense. Look at the R2 monster, as it lumbers on for 18 months with a proven loss in listenership numbers, in an attempt to make "Canada more relevant to Canadians".

[...] Wood hasn't said much since she learned almost a month ago that she was being pulled from the host chair at Daybreak. Part of that is because Wood has never been one to draw too much attention to herself (at least, [...]

The only person who would satisfy the CBC is a moran. How about Gilles Duceppe??

As with Sol Bauxenbaum on CJAD, the powers-that-be at the CBC are concentrating on pretending that Nancy Wood no longer exists so far as Daybreak is concerned. The managers couldn't care less about the large amount of support Nancy has been getting. I don't think the CBC will recover easily from this and will in effect increasingly be seen, here in Montreal, as a public station that acts like a private station for the sake of its decision makers.

Yes the ratings went from 5th in the city to 3rd with Mike Finnerty. Now, I gather, they are 4th. This is going to happen with a new host but I agree with someone earlier, Nancy Wood is flat. If she had come in after Bronstetter, she may have had a chance.
