So, aside from getting rid of George Stromoloupolos, how would you improve this?

Great summary of CBC Music (aka Radio 2 for the older generation).
I listened a lot to Radio 2 back in the late 80's/early 90's late at night on my way to and from meeting up with friends etc as I was living an hour away from many (the music kept me awake late at night). The days of Brave New Waves and Nightlines on late at night was great.
The Strombo show can be a bit tiresome but not as bad as the crapfest of Randy Bachmans' show on radio 1.
