Defund the CBC

[The Green Barbarian]

The CBC is a very expensive balloon to let children play with. I suggest that a prick from fiscal reality will deflate this albatross pdq.

Just put Schitt's Creek on 24 hour re-run with some old Rick Mercer mixed in. The rest is all just unwatchable dreck. Other than the occasional Murdoch Mysteries....

CBC ad revenues sinking faster than Trudeau's waterlogged surfboard.

CBC Ad Revenue On The Decline

A recent study by Postmedia found that the CBC's advertising revenues are in freefall.

Reports indicate that ad sales were down from $220 million in 2019 to just under $199 million in 2020, a drop of about 10% in one year.

Furthermore, "CBC’s share of prime-time viewers fell by 2%, despite the fact locked-down Canadians watched more TV than ever before during the pandemic. At any given time during prime viewing hours (8 to 11 p.m.), just 5% of Canadians are watching our state broadcaster", reports the agency.

The report ads that the network's share of 18- to 49-year-old viewers is steadily declining each year. A disproportionate amount of people watching the CBC are in the next age cadre. However, this spells disaster for the news corporation, as eighteen to 49-year-olds are the most coveted by advertisers because of their purchasing power and spending habits, and the CBC is largely irrelevant to them.

The report adds that "since 2014, the CBC’s income from TV ads has collapsed from $426 million to $199 million, a decline of 53% in just seven years."

He's right, you know.

You know if one reversed CBC and Jordan Peterson, the meme perfectly describes who he is and has become.

CBC just lost a defamation case and was ordered to pay $1.7 million.
They lied about a investment broker.
But they do not care, it is only taxpayers money being paid out.

They have Justin Trudeau Syndrome. They don't think about money.

And of course millions in lawyer fees and they will appeal and spend more taxpayers dollars.

Just a short time ago I put this comment on CBC.
Stay home. Boycott the Beijing Olympics out of respect for the Two Michaels.

And this comment can now be found......? Deactivated.

Looks like the country Justin admires is calling the shots at the Communist Broadcasting Corporation.

The CBC has dropped another 10% in viewership in the last few months. They have lost advertisement revenue and Justine is just a phone call away to offer monetary support in any way he can. CBC is a money pit.

To work at the CBC in the current climate is to embrace cognitive dissonance and to abandon journalistic integrity.

It is to sign on, enthusiastically, to a radical political agenda that originated on Ivy League campuses in the United States and spread through American social media platforms that monetize outrage and stoke societal divisions. It is to pretend that the “woke” worldview is near universal — even if it is far from popular with those you know, and speak to, and interview, and read.

To work at the CBC now is to accept the idea that race is the most significant thing about a person, and that some races are more relevant to the public conversation than others. It is, in my newsroom, to fill out racial profile forms for every guest you book; to actively book more people of some races and less of others.

To work at the CBC is to submit to job interviews that are not about qualifications or experience — but instead demand the parroting of orthodoxies, the demonstration of fealty to dogma.
