Q rebranded as q after caps lock button is laid off in latest round of CBC budget cuts

TORONTO –– After caps lock keys accepted buyouts in the CBC’s latest round of budget cuts, the public broadcaster announced on Wednesday that the show Q would henceforth be known as q.

“we wanted the show to have a completely new identity for our new host, shad,” CBC President explained, “and there’s no denying that this q looks radically different.”

Asked if the new name was the result of the financially-enforced loss of capital letters, Lacroix struggled to adequately express his anger without being able to resort to all-caps ranting.

“we categorically reject the suggestion that this q looks anything like the other q, you know the capitalized one,” he wrote in an email to journalists. “just use your imagination. there was big q and now there’s little q, only little q will be bigger and better than big q.”

At press time, CBC officials were strongly considering a proposal to rebrand CBC Radio 2 using roman numerals.
