The Current
From Free net encyclopedia
- The Current is also the name of a radio station owned and operated by Minnesota Public Radio.
The Current is a current affairs radio show hosted by investigative reporter Anna Maria Tremonti on the CBC. It airs weekdays starting at 8:37 a.m. local time on CBC Radio One.
Although primarily a serious news program, The Current has traditionally begun each show with a brief satirical comment by a CBC producer credited only as The Voice.
The Voice has also announced fictional advertsiements for the "Ambiguous Party", a fictional political party. A few campaign ads were created and aired for morning show listeners' amusement in which The Voice tried to persuade listeners to vote for the Ambiguous Party. Comparisons are made between the Ambiguous Party (complete and utter fence-sitters on all issues) and the current parties of the day.
