The broadcaster is eventually preparing to shift all its content to online-only ‘in order to remain relevant’ says head of CBC
The head of the CBC says it is preparing to end traditional TV and radio broadcasts and move completely digital, as audiences shift to streaming, but the move is unlikely to happen over the next decade.
She also criticized the Conservatives’ call to defund the CBC, calling it a “slogan,” and expressed hope that Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez would scrap a Senate amendment banning the CBC from accepting sponsored content. Ms. Tait hit back at the Conservative campaign to strip the CBC of public subsidy, saying its “defund the CBC” campaign was a tactic to solicit donations.
As well as CBC Gem, which includes drama, it also has CBC Listen, which streams audio; CBC News Explore; ICI TOU.TV ; and Radio-Canada OHdio, a French-language audio streaming service. She said even now some shows do better on digital platforms. She urged producers who pitch to the CBC, who want to “pitch TV shows,” to think differently and perhaps “pitch a podcast” instead.
