I know that comparing the success of the BBC to CBC is a tempting one but it`s not a fair one. The BBC serves 50% more people but doesn`t have to provide services in 2 official languages over 6 different time zones.


I think it fair to say that we all agree that French CBC is a success and CBC Radio English is also one and are embraced by the public. The problem is with CBC English TV and it`s a big one. In trying to serve everyone it end up appealing to no one.


I would ditch every single local TV news network which are already served by countless local news stations which provide local coverage. Have only the National running at 10pm from Toronto with one person like it use to be. Take those huge saved funds and provide quality commercial free programming of all types in the evening with some local broadccasting...........in other words the PBS model.
