CBC ad revenues plunge 37% in 2019

Easy to explain, advertisers realize fewer are watching CBC so take the advertising budget to where people are watching, like Al Jezeera….

I used to watch the CBC news, but when they went to the 4 anchor format pretty much stopped. Did try and catch Thursday's "At Issue" panel when I remember what day it is...
Regarding CBC radio, when in the car I'll have CBC on for news, some morning programing, the odd 12 to 1 BC today ( preferred Mark Forsythe and Almanac). Afternoon programming seems like a job placement service for those that cannot get work in the private sector. Will listen to "Radio West" in the car if I like the topics.
Otherwise Sirius satellite in the car and love it, regardless of the fees.
Never local training station feces.
CBC is floundering with changing demographics and before long I suspect will be cut from the government teat.

The CBC is Canada's:
Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda.

Our Govt is nothing but an arm the globalist form of
The (New) Peoples National Socialist Party. Justin is their representative to Canada.
Macron to France.
Merkel to Gemany which is ultimately in control of the EU.
Etc...
The EU is nothing but The Fourth Reich.
Up until Trump came along every single leader was a globalist. Including All our past prime ministers as well as every President since Reagan. (an argument could be made for Carter, but he was an military isolationist yet still was a fiscal globalist)
The EU, UN Et al. is an attempt at stratifying the world into non-elected elites who control policy and the serfs that obey those policies. The elites believe that we are to be farmed and they must do the farming. No more free range chattle!
The destruction of an semblance of Nationalism is their goal and it is sinister in its intent and outcome.
Venezuela is the most current example.
"we can vote our way into socialism but the only way out is through bullets" Unknown quote
The above is to support the premise that:
The CBC is nothing but an arm of that socialist globalist agenda. They are trying to subvert every conversation with identity politics. They are pathological in their thinking and actions. They should be tried for sedition never mind de-funded.
The only thing tolerable left on CBC is Quirks and Quarks because that isn't so heavily salted with Leftist condescension.
We do indeed live in interesting times.

I am absolutely floored that they receive 1.2 billion in funding. *bleep* is going on with the government. Why is this going on that were throwing money down the hole like this. When we got poverty and a drug addiction issue and they're throwing a billion plus dollars at this yearly . Who the hell's in charge of decision-making like this. Is there anybody that's going to go for office that will do what's right for the people?

I watch different news casts to get more than one point of view, and CBC is one I do watch.
I love CBC radio, it's the best available.
If you don't like it fine, but there is more than the 6 o'clock news to consider.
A lot of Canadians like the shows the CBC produces, and aren't interested in slick Hollywood low IQ crap.
Especially in rural areas, there would be no news they care about if the CBC wasn't around.
As well, English people in French areas, and French people in English areas need the CBC.
There are plenty of things not provided by 'only for profit' media outlets.

No matter what party or government, there has and always will be poverty.
As for drug addicts, they see enough of my money, and enough of my tools and property already.

If the C.B.C. reported news, then they'd have a purpose.

Unfortunately, they don't report news anymore. They report what Justin Trudeau wants them to report.

As CBC continues to hemorrhage viewers and advertisers, lefties will probably start to feign concern for the damage being done to private broadcasters that have to compete against CBC for advertising dollars. Watch for more pressure to relieve the poor broadcasters of that burden by making the CBC completely tax funded.

They need to go tax dollar free

I stopped watching The National the day Peter [Persons]bridge retired. I stopped listening to CBC radio the day Rex Murphy retired. I stopped watching Hockey Night in Canada the day Don Cherry was canned.

Rex's YouTube Channel is going in the opposite direction as the CBC... up, up, and away...

The only thing I watch on CBC is the occasional Canucks game, so perhaps my view is biased, but it seems to me most of the ads on that channel are ads for CBC shows. Pretty hard to generate revenue by tooting your own horn.

[Smurf]

Maybe themselves are the only ones they can get to pay for adds.

Yup, It’s like warping the mouthpiece around to the horn expecting it to blow itself by creating positive feedback.
