Why on Earth the taxpayer is subsidizing the CBC to crowd out private media is beyond me. It's not 1930. We don't need a state broadcaster to serve an otherwise unserved nation. To the extent the CBC does have a legitimate function, that function most certainly does not include sports, dramas, comedies, etc. By all means, let them adopt the PBS/NPR model. But get them out of the private market, and put my tax dollars to better use.
