CBC

Canadas not quite state broadcaster pisses me off.

I do watch CBC television, it's generally decent and they have some decent shows.

I am not sure if a national broadcaster really makes sense, making sure there is a minimum TV and radio network made sense years ago, but now I think we only need internet access everywhere.

As far as Canadian content, I'm not too concerned. There are many companies creating first rate, competative Canadian content.


The thing that gets me is we give them over a billion dollars a year in subsidy, but we have no idea what they're spending it on.
I'm just wondering what do they need this money for, they have ads on their shows, in fact it seems that the CBC is pretty much like all the private networks in Canada. If they can survive without a government subsidy, can't the CBC?
