Top Programmer Leaves CBC

Adrian Mills, who was brought in last year to revamp the CBC’s programming, has resigned from the public broadcaster. “Mills’ departure was described by one observer as ‘reassuring,’ and it will certainly be applauded by those listeners who became disgruntled with CBC Radio’s dramatic changes under his leadership.” Mills had said his mandate was to go after a “younger, more diverse, audience. ‘Canada is changing, and society has changed, so CBC Radio needs to make sure it is as relevant to future generations as it was to previous ones.”
