Called into the Audience Relations phone line:
“Why do all of the hosts and reporters say Toronno instead of Toronto? I know someone there has advised them to do so. I need to talk to that person.”

probably the same person who told us to pronounce pedophile, pee-do-file (just like the ped in pediatrician).
i’m all for correct pronounciation, but seriously, if we’re the only outlet sounding like this, then what is the point?
does anyone remember the SNL sketch from years ago where people over-pronounced spanish sounding place names, so that “NeeeekaaRAGGGWAAA” sounded like a machine gun?
Man, that was a funny sketch.
People need to chillllll.
I also like the pronunciation of the nation’s capital on The National -
Owe-toe-wah.
That’s some audience, if that’s the best comment.
Nothing tops Chretien’s referral to the The Third World… (The Turd World)!
What I want to know is, why does everyone on CBC radio, without exception, say “shedule”?
That’s not an incorrect pronunciation.
However I would love to know why the CTV folks pronounce it SEE TEE VEY.
