Motivation edit

CBC maintains online access to television series, episodes, documentaries, and other programs. Some expire and should not be linked (eg - episodes of the nightly newscast The National), some are live events with a different URL format and should be excluded, and most others fit the proposed scheme above. The scheme will be 'always incomplete' with the addition of new shows, so long as CBC continues to operate. Mindmatrix (talk) 01:08, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
