Re: Reruns on tap as CBC cuts, March 26
A better and more permanent way of saving money for the CBC would be to change its focus and to concentrate on what it does best by "harmonizing" its two TV channels. Eliminate the Newsworld channel and fold it back into the regular CBC News. There is little need for two public news channels.
CBC does an outstanding job with its regional programming and the Canadian-produced content that might otherwise not see the light of day. However, I would rather see my tax dollars go to pay for Canadian news programming, Canadian stories and culture, and to service remote areas that might not be profitable for the private sector. Let private broadcasters chase mass-media shows and the advertising revenue they bring.
CBC Radio also, though it provides good service to Canadians, has many duplications and redundancies. Why, for example, do we need two CBC FM stations? One station, I am sure, will suffice.
