The main thing is to keep in the public eye although hopefully whatever method is used to promote ATGB again might do that. Really good news that he's coming back to the UK in April. Presumably they won't broadcast the RFH show on telly before that ? Does anyone know if the album picked up at all after Greenwich and then the lottery?

I will look again tonight to see if last week's slot on the National Lottery did the trick.

Thanks for the info James! That would be the Toronto show, it was BF's only stop in Canada this time. I saw them videotaping at the show but I didn't think to ask who was doing it. I love the CBC - the only network in North America that airs the Michael Moore films.

It is now also certified Gold - 200,000 units sold. Given that the album spent much of it's previous run in the chart at around 50 - 60, this represents, from memory, the album's best chart position since about the third week of release. Good news.

Noam, I hope your not confused. The show is on CBC-FM, not CBC-TV. Perhaps they're just edited the audio track. BTW, the broadcast will probably be 40-50 minutes, 60 max. So be prepared for an edited version. Only once has this show broadcast an entire show unedited, and that was a 2 hour Smashing Pumpkins show that was given the OK for broadcast by Billy Corgan ONLY if the show could air in it's entirety, and uninterrupted by commercials, voice-overs, etc. Since the CBC does not air commercials, the BF show will air uninterrupted, albeit in it's edited form. Still can't wait.

It will last about an hour and the questions are chosen either at random or on their interest merit, the chances are it will be transcribed for later reading.
