    I’m an American and really enjoy the programming over CBC Radio One Ottawa. I switch almost equally between BBC UK as well for both the same reasoning. The topics are so varied and interesting. It’s provides a contrast from American Public Radio which I also listen to for news and cultural programming. All three are quite different in their own respect. Thanks!
