CBC went full woke, like the BBC. I can't stand identity politics and most can't either. At least the French equivalent didn't go into that direction, as of yet, as wokeness is still mostly an anglo thing.All these publicly funded media channels are the biggest waste of money ever. The only silver lining (if someone wants to grasp at straws) is "well, it at least keeps people employed".
I dont care how "we got to be ethical and give viewers some local shit" a publicly funded channel is. If nobody is watching it, it means its a waste of money and shit content to boot.
But at least the UK situation is better than here in Canada where CBC gets like $1 billion in taxpayers money to fund junky shows nobody watches. Since their funding comes from taxes, you cant avoid paying into the CBC budget. I dont even watch their hockey telecasts. So I pay into the fund despite watching zero CBC shows. Last time I watched the channel for non-sports stuff was back in the 90s when they'd show reruns of The Simpsons and Fresh Prince. It was perfect. You'd watch Simpsons at 5 pm and Fresh at 5:30 and then dinnertime at 6 pm. And in the late 80s, reruns of Threes Company and Too Close for Comfort. EVERYONE watched those shows on CBC.
Fuck it. If some cable channel like AMC Classic Movie TV can survive and make money, how the hell can CBC get $1 billion+ taxpayer dollars and still need more money to survive?
Their best ratings and ad revenue comes from people watching hockey (at one time I think it was about 30% of ad revenue), but then they junked it after Rogers outbid them and had some kind of weird deal where they still do the telecast but the ad money goes to Rogers.
GUNTER: As CBC ratings plummet, they ask for more taxpayer dollars
The CBC’s ad revenues continue to plummet. Why? Is it because tech giants like Google have hijacked the CBC’s ad space?
Not entirely! A two year old article. Looks like Quebec held its ground. But English viewers said fuck it, were outta here.

I notice you didn't mention BAC.
There's bound to be another upcoming television charge applied to our bills. When people are accustomed to paying for something, you don't simply stop asking for their money.
It's actually split, TV shows and entertainment department went woke but the news went heavy right leaning and became government apologists. Which is ironic as they have both sides complaining about them! And because of that they've lost credibility, there was a recent justification for allowing flat earthers to share their viewpoints without being "challenged" because it's "fair".
No they won't, there's also bots posting all over the place about how terrible the NHS is and how much better Private has been. There's been news reports about ambulance shortages, etc. Keep the squeeze up and the average Sun reader will start to shout about how bad the NHS is and how the Tories need to do something.
This sounds stupid but also horribly plausible. Do you have any examples of these bots?
Fuck off.Confirmed. Fuck the BBC.
Nadine Dorries hits BBC with £2bn funding cut as licence fee is frozen
EXCLUSIVE: Tense negotiations between the Government and BBC over the cost of the licence fee have concluded, with Nadine Dorries deciding to freeze the cost at £159 for the next two years.www.dailymail.co.uk
This seems to be the truth of it from what I see around. If you go to Era, you’ll see people hate the BBC for being too conservative biased in the news. Come back here, you see people hate the BBC for being too woke in entertainment.
The one way for any media company to get a good image.... just tell the facts and stop injecting clickbait titles and editorials.
You just bitched about wanting it to be gone because YOU dont use it anymore. But 2 sentences later you described how you did use it and it was perfect! Huh?All these publicly funded media channels are the biggest waste of money ever. The only silver lining (if someone wants to grasp at straws) is "well, it at least keeps people employed".
