among cfmi's programming innovations was "discumentary", a one-hour musical documentary of programming featuring a particular artist or a particular theme. this was developed in response to the crtc's requirement for foreground programming. the "discumentary" programs were written by paul wiggins and voiced by dave mccormick, then terry david mulligan and syndicated throughout canada, and broadcast internationally on the anik d satellite. later, crtc regulations phased out the need for foreground programming, and cfmi phased out "discumentary".
