CBC is a national institution that these days is not living up to its potential; however, on both radio and television it is the most complete network, and I would argue Radio One is the best talk radio we have.

The biggest improvement CBC needs to make is to its regional response. CBC does serve Northern Canada very well with its multiple language programming on both radio and television, and at least on radio has local presence throughout the North. However, I also think it needs to develop a better regional presence in Southern Ontario and other areas. Where I live we get a local afternoon show meant for Toronto listeners. It's a great show if you're in Toronto, but it's a waste of airwaves elsewhere.
