I've been trying to get this show done for 20 years. And now we have. English and French on the same show, and not in their two solitudes. Please watch on March 20. And yes, we'll have subtitles of the other #language.
The Rundown@therundowntvo

TVO and @TFO_Ontario are coming together for a first-of-its-kind bilingual special exploring Canada’s Francophone and Anglophone communities.

As many of you have likely heard by now, TVO has essentially shut down its journalism operations. Most of the team there has been let go. I was a freelancer, and was told by management today that my column there will end. And that's okay. I have a few words to offer, though.

I'm 6 months into hosting TV. I'm raw. Got A LOT to learn and experience to improve what I do. When I watch local TV interviewers to learn from them, gold standard is @spaikin of @tvo who hosts @TheAgenda and other shows and events. Preparation, delivery, inquiry are top notch
