CBC Cancels "Search Engine" program.

One of the best and most successful shows on CBC radio, Search Engine, an award winning newsmagazine about the Internet and cyberculture, is inexplicably being shut down by management.

This show is/was up there with The Hour with George Stroumbomonopoly (or however it is spelled/pronounced). Topics were always treated in a way that meshed with the younger, more technologically inclined demographic. Intelligent and tried very hard to get to the core of any given topic in a way that wasn't sensationalistic.

Given CBCs management mistakes of late (read: loosing the rights Canada's Second National Anthem to TSN? and the brief but distinct possibility of loosing Hockey Night In Canada), it's not a surprise that the network is coming close to the cusp of inconsequentialness.

Is that even a word?
