GIVING CBC A WOMAN'S TOUCH: SPORTS EXEC LEE MAKES HER MARK

          CBC Sports Exec Dir Nancy Lee is "wasting no time in
     putting her stamp" on the network, according to Chris
     Zelkovich of the TORONTO STAR, who profiles the newly tapped
     network exec.  Lee's influence "was evident" last week when
     "HNIC" Exec Producer John Shannon was "let go," as insiders
     say that the decision "was Lee's all the way."  Lee has also
     "no doubt ruffled a few feathers in fulfilling the CBC's
     mandate to cut pro sports" by 20%.  The latest move in that
     area "was her decision to let the Toronto and Vancouver Indy
     races go to" Global TV.  Meanwhile, Lee is "planning" to
     give CBC "a woman's touch" by offering more women's sports
     events.  Lee: "Getting more sports on the air that appeal to
     women makes a lot of sense.  Where is our growth going to
     be?  Women."  Lee wants to add a woman to its "HNIC." Also,
     sports "that don't offer women equal prize money to men
     won't get air time on CBC" (TORONTO STAR, 7/25).
