"Joy to the World", the Euroradio Christmas broadcast, on Radio 2 Dec. 18 2016

The misguided boffins of CBC Radio have managed to decimate many of the beloved programs on CBC Radio 2 over the last nine years. One of the programs that has managed to escape their malicious meddling is "Joy to the World", the Euroradio broadcast of Christmas music that is broadcast from European countries in the weeks before Christmas.

Hmmm ... come to think of it, the only reason that it's managed to survive so long is (a) because it originates from Europe, out of the clutches of CBC management and (b) it means the CBC doesn't have to originate any programming of it's own that day.

OK, enough griping. Sunday, December 18 2016 from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on your local CBC Radio 2 station. Enjoy it while you can. It will probably be cut some day.
