We don\u0027t subsidize Netflix, Prime or Disney Plus. Why should we subsidize CBC as it becomes a digital streamer?
Let’s be clear: CBC hasn’t been relevant to Canadians for years. Their shows rarely — if ever — appeared in the top 30 shows that Numeris used to publish on Canadian viewing habits.
The CRTC, the government broadcast regulator, not only requires that those channels be carried by every cable and satellite service in Canada, but insists that the CBC gets a higher fee per subscriber than their private competitors. That nice little, cozy arrangement netted CBC an extra $122 million in mandatory subscriber fees last year.
Their flagship news program is the third most watched national news program in a three-horse race and has been for a long time.
