CBC scraps its 4 host format for The National and nobody cares
Remember when CBC introduced their four-host format back in 2017? No? Well, of course you don't, because nobody cares. But according to reports, CBC is switching back to its two-host format — and some people are treating the story like it's breaking news.
That's right. Move over, Newfoundland — you might be recovering from a record-breaking snowstorm, but CBC is making a play for the top spot in this week's news.

Naturally, Canadians in every province are taking the opportunity to roast CBC on Twitter — and the responses are hilarious.
One man was concerned for CBC's dedicated fans.
Wonder how the 47 who watch will react?

And another person thought that all of CBC's regular viewers would be very disappointed.
I’m sure the seven people that still actually watch The National will care deeply about this announcement.

One man thought CBC was trying to fix a gunshot wound with a Bandaid.
Yes, the new National sucks, but the problems go much deeper than having four hosts.

And another user had a few suggestions for CBC on that topic.
Let me know when CBC gets around to verified and provable facts and specific sources.
