202 Alicia HamiltonI just want to say I understand that certain shows will be cancelled. But what I don't understand is, the cancellation of JPOD. First things first CBC, you choose to move JPOD to friday evenings, its rating were fine on tuesdays, but you moved it in the hopes of helping MVP do better. I wont lie I've seen both shows, I've seen most shows, I am one of the viewers that watches CBC continously, but cancelling JPOD with out giving it a real chance, I'm sorry I can't respect that. Please think about your desicion.

204 Jo-Anne Ayresit's only just begun, please give it a chance!!!!!
205 Dave SemkoIt's hard to understand this decision given the popularity of this show on the internet and by british and US viewers as well. The Nielson boxes don't seem to be reflecting the demographic you were chasing with this show. I never watch CBC but came on board for this show. Its a shame that the television end of your business seems to be lagging behind the radio end which is programming plenty for younger viewers in an attempt to increase its current and future listening base. Don't forget that viewers you attract to jpod are also being attracted to other shows you advertise like Little Mosque on the Prarie which at first glance, does not have as much popular apeal as jpod to the 20 to 40 crowd. I would hope you at least attempt a DVD release with some extra content by the actors, directors, and writers, before you make your final decision. You may be surprised at the results. If sales are low, then you have your answer. An answer I don't thing Nielson can give you beyond all their advertising at how statistically accurate the algorithms are.
206 Caitlin KantorBefore this show, I never tuned in to cbc, except for hockey.You are taking off the ONLY interesting show you have, and you will lose many viewers over this decision!

208 Mike HaugjPod is such an interesting and engaging show! I love it! CBC needs to think hard about how to connect with a new technology-literate generation before public broadcasting is relegated to the history books. jPod has a good blend of on-air and on-line presence that could be the leading edge of this form of media in the mainstream. Keep this show! Don't make a huge mistake! Besides, it's super funny and has great acting talent! Sheesh. What more do you need??

211 Chris CirellaThis show is a true gem in the lineup at CBC. A second season would be welcomed and is warranted. Bring jPod back!!
212 MalinaPLEASE DON"T CANCEL jPod! It's the best show that CBC has had in years. Don't abandon your younger audience.
213 Khal ShariffPut aside any reason you have to discontinue the show, and keep it going. It's the best show going in many a moon.

216 Johnston GrayGreat Book The Show is almost as good
217 Paul GabrielsonThis show is true modern TV, shameless and irreverent. It needs time to find an audience. Traditional marketing won't work, the facebook/myspace crowd needs to find it and make it huge. sure it might not be huge in original broadcasts on teh network but how many views does it get on youtube and facebook ad the jpod website. Modern media works if you work it

222 Andrew LeonardBring back this genius show!
223 Nikole VillanuevaI love you jPod
224 Beth LofIt's one of the best shows I've seen on the CBC. I plan my Fridays around it (formerly my Tuesdays). Please give it some more time and promotion. I'm sure it could be sold into the States as well. There are lots of cool people there who would enjoy it.
225 Tana MoldovanosThis is a brilliant show, and supplies many with needed employment, please do not cancel it !
226 Jordan Thompson
227 Nathan TaylorjPod is one of the best shows I've seen on CBC in recent memory! Please reconsider!
228 TylerSeriously, how could you cancel JPOD? I would sign a thousand other petitions if it would make the show comeback. NOBODY WATCHES TV ON FIRDAY! Its a T.V snowday, people go outside/bars and hangout with friends. I hope you at least keep the website and the free episodes on line so i can watch them.
229 Shelley MuirI can't believe you are cancelling this great show. It is one of the few shows on all of TV that makes me laugh out loud. It is intelligent and querky. Please reconsider this decision.
230 Erin Purdey
231 Peter GrierThe show should NOT be canceled and should NOT be on Friday nights.
232 KarajPod is my fave current show. Can't believe it's come to an end so quickly... please reconsider and bring this show back!!
233 Byron ScherwitzIt's a one of a kind comedy style that is a unique and exciting show to watch on CBC. Me and my fellow Canadian friends have fallen in love with the Jpod characters and want to see a second season.
234 Jennifer TompsonI truly think the show is wonderful, the smartest show being done here and think it is a huge blow to Canadian Television to not let the show grow and find it's audience; here and abroad. I am deeply saddened and urge you to reconsider this big mistake.
235 Raven KaiMy friends and I are enamored with this show! It's brilliant and I have been pouring through the websites and sharing the Jpod love with anyone who will listen since before the first episode aired! Please, don't give up on it!
236 AnonymousInstead of spending the time and money on pushing cookie cutter shows, take a little time and energy and direct it towards actually promoting well written and unique shows like jPod for a change.
237 Scott DeneauI can't believe the CBC has cancelled one of the only interesting, smart, well-written shows they have produced in years. Ratings be damned! Think of the larger picture folks.

239 LoriONe day a week I watch TV based on my schedule, this had become a show that I enjoyed... I am VERY disappointed it has been cancelleD!
240 Jackie MillerThis is a fantastic, CANADIAN show!!! We need more Canadian exposure on television... don't get rid of this! It's funny and random and John Doe is one of the best characters on tv. KEPP JPOD GOING!
241 Barbara MillerLove the show - please reconsider....

243 Laura S.Please bring it back!
244 Sarah SinclairPlease bring this show back to the table. It brings Canadian talent to the masses. You may think that jPod is only watched my twenty-somethings but in fact my parents enjoy it as well. It always gives me a good chuckle, unlike anything else CBC has produced to date.
245 Bill AlexanderNot sure if you've been tracking who has been watching the show online, but I have. And I quite enjoy it. It was probably a dumb move to shift it to Fridays, when your target audience is out on the town. Keep it alive! Market it better. I know that you can find a good sized audience for this.
246 AnonymousIt is certainly disappointing that read that CBC is discontinuing Jpod. Unbelievable really. Jpod is such a fantastic show! It is funny, insightful, and brilliantly acted! What a shame the CBC didn't give it a chance to develop a following. I guess the writing was on the wall once they switched it to Friday night. The worst part seems to be that they replaced it with MVP, a terrible piece of Canadiana!
247 AnonymousPlease keep it on the air.
248 James WindsorPlease don't cancel the best show on the CBC since the kids in the hall.
249 sherry millerWell. Obviously. I am curious about why your other shows were cross-promoted on other networks, and ours wasn't. Kind of took it personally.
250 Daniel KayIt's unfortunate that great shows such as these that reach out to a younger population gets canceled.
