Is Acorn Press named after Milton Acorn, the poet? I know he lived and worked on PEI most of his life...
I've gotten very frustrated with CBC for not making their old radio and television productions more widely available. There are thousands of channels in both for everything under the sun, and surely CBC vintage programming would find a ready audience if they were willing.
Hi David... Milton Acorn is mentioned on The Acorn Press's "About" page. They never say he directly inspired the name but it's difficult to believe there isn't a connection. As for CBC, a lot of people share that frustration. It's a really difficult challenge for the CBC to make those programs available, though. The problem is sorting out all the rights with the various unions. Maybe one day!
