Mitch and Kerry have tested you. And you have failed. All season long CBC Radio One's morning show here on Prince Edward Island has been outsourcing their music programming to their listeners in a jiggle they call "All Request Winter."

Being Erica on Monday did 632 000 viewers, down a little from the week before but still up from the premiere. What's more promising ...

MY WELL-UPHOLSTERED behind hasn't even sunk into the leather before Amy Cameron fires off her first question: "I have to ask you something right off the bat..." Cameron is Wild Roses' co-creator.
