VANCOUVER -- Former Canadian Broadcasting Corp. news anchor Knowlton Nash on Thursday joined the chorus of disapproval against Canada's public broadcaster for bumping its flagship newscast to make way for an ABC reality show. Nash, a Canadian icon who anchored the CBC's The National newscast for 10 years through 1992, slammed the CBC for moving its 10 p.m. The National telecast to 11 p.m. in Ontario and Quebec this summer to simulcast ABC's The One: Making a Music Star on Tuesday nights beginning July 18. "If the CBC really wants reality TV, let people get the reality of what's happening in the world by turning on 'The National' at 10 p.m. every night," Nash, who has Parkinson's disease, said during a Toronto speech to the Canadian Journalism Federation read by his wife, Lorraine Thomson.
