Not one single CBC show on that list.
I do watch the CBC regional news at 11 PM, but if I ever watch the national news at 10 PM, it's usually only accidentally (I'm surfing and there happens to be something interesting on as I'm flicking through).
It would appear that The Beaverton is now a more influential news source than the CBC is............

Well, looking at that list, for Canadian content you have:
The Amazing Race Canada (derivative of US show)
CTV News
CFL football
Global News
Blue Jays baseball (effectively the Canadian outpost in a US-based league)
The Beaverton
We're not exactly setting it on fire for domestic content.
That being said, the loss of Peter Mansbridge on the National is kind of the ending of an era for the CBC. Indeed, English CBC TV is really being hammered by the fragmentation of people's viewing habits, not that any big networks are really doing well at the moment.
I'm curious what becomes of TV in the next 20 years. Do things like Netflix and Amazon Prime effectively kill the idea of a TV network, aside from sports and news (i.e. events-based coverage that doesn't really lend itself to on-demand). 20 years ago, TV was king.
I guess we'll get out the popcorn and watch.
