''Definitely Not the Opera'' (''DNTO'') is a magazine-style radio program focusing on aspects of pop culture. The program is broadcast on CBC Radio One on Saturday afternoons, 1:30–3:30 p.m. (Eastern time). An abridged version of each weekly program is available for download as a weekly podcast. An abbreviated edition called ''Your DNTO'' also airs on Tuesday afternoons, which includes content submitted by listeners. The program is also syndicated to some public radio stations in the United States. ==History== In 1993, the CBC launched ''Brand X'' as a Saturday afternoon replacement for ''Canada Live'',〔"Brand X targets youth". ''The Globe and Mail'', June 26, 1993.〕 a short-lived successor to Jack Farr's ''The Radio Show''. ''Brand X'' also took over the youth and pop culture mandate from the network's recently cancelled ''Prime Time''.〔"Prime cut". ''The Globe and Mail'', June 16, 1993.〕 Initially airing with a stable of regular contributors but no single host,〔 the program premiered on June 26, 1993.〔 The program lasted only a single year under its original title and format before being revamped to create ''Definitely Not the Opera'' in 1994.〔"CBC revamps radio lineup". ''The Globe and Mail'', June 29, 1994.〕 The new name was chosen because the program aired opposite ''Saturday Afternoon at the Opera'' on CBC Stereo. Nora Young, who had been one of the contributors to ''Brand X'',〔"Pop culture finds a Saturday niche on the airwaves". ''The Globe and Mail'', February 11, 1995.〕 was named as the host of the program.〔"Media Stars: Avi Lewis, Nora Young and Ruby Bhatia". ''U of T Magazine'', Summer 2001.〕 She held the position until 2002, when current host Sook-Yin Lee, a former MuchMusic VJ, took over. The program has varied in length over the course of its run, between two and four hours long at various times. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Definitely Not the Opera」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
