Precisely. We are forced to pay for channels now where the channels get money from both sides. What's worse is that the 'medium' of this has zero accountability, has power to use our viewing information AND are then able to control which commercials we should see AT OUR EXPENSE! Again, the CRTC is permitting this because they are a 'culture' department first and foremost and a communications one secondarily. The power of media today, including CBC, is managed by some common powers in shared interest. I don't doubt it likely too that the shareholders of private media are consolidated and in favor of the management of CBC. 

Quote

For broadcast stations, the CRTC presently requires that 60% yearly, and at least 50% of programming aired daily from 6:00 pm to midnight must be of Canadian origin.^[15] In May 2011 the CanCon requirement for private television broadcasters was lowered to 55% yearly.^[16] Canada's public broadcaster, CBC, must still maintain 60% CanCon quota.

 

The CBC has accountability.  The problem is no one cares about it except for the bottom line.

Lol spin doctors.  When I say international it is because it is non Canadian, as was your point of home alone being american.  

American broadcasting is part of international broadcasting that cbc shows.  

I guess I need to draw it in crayon for Beavis and Butthead here.  

Home Alone being an American movie is news to no one, there is no need to bring it up. Canada does not need the CBC to show American movies to Canadian audiences.

Canadian content quota's are for losers.

Why not?  Sure there are others movies that they can show, but that doesnt mean they should not be allowed to show american content too.

Like I said earlier, the CBC broadcasts international programs.  Until the americans move to mars or implode they are sadly still part of that group. 

 

Still wouldn't matter, as the CBC embeds links and content from American social media platforms into online news and entertainment content.

Hell, the CRTC mandates carriage of American broadcast television networks by time zone (BDU 4 + 1 rule), ostensibly because Canadians "demand" American broadcast content.

The fight over simsub Super Bowl ads has finally ended this year.

Because it's a waste of resources.  The private sector already provides the same service.

Oh ok.  So then they should not show any movies or tv shows or news since private sectors provide the same service.

No one said they should be allowed to show it, I said we don't need them to show it, the CBC is not required to get American content to Canadian consumers.

No they don’t.  Some CBC programming is exclusive or not provided by the private sector.  Hence what’s suppose to be the reason behind why CBC should exist.  Are you being obtuse on purpose?

They should not exist. The private sector can handle everything they do much better than they do it.

No, they arent.  But like I said, they show stuff made from the world over.  

So really there are three choices here:

1: status quo

2: show content from the rest of the world except for american

3: Canadian content only

I'm conflicted by two and three.  I'm sure option two would really piss trump off.

Option Four: Get rid of the CBC.
Option Five: CBC stops editing movies to include more commercials when they already show too many commercials.

I choose option four.

Not an option.  Besides they'll just replace it with something else like PBS.

Why would they replace it? There is no need to replace it, the private sector can do what they do, better than they can do it, and they don't need to be subsidized by taxpayers to do it.

Commercialized media leads to more foreign investors and less Canadian content.  If that kept up we wouldn't have shows like the Murdoch Mysteries. 

I think of CBC as the line in the sand.

Screw Canadian content. If the best content happens to be Canadian content, that's great, if not, showing substandard content just because it's Canadian is dumb. Nothing is stopping a private broadcaster from showing Canadian content, content quota's are stupid and you don't need taxpayer subsidization to show Canadian content. If Canadians don't want to consume Canadian content, that is not a problem, and it certainly doesn't justify the CBC's existence.

The CBC he said, should “seek to reduce or eliminate mass audience American programming and reduce CBC’s dependence on advertising revenue.”

And I loved his concluding line: “This refocused CBC will obviously have to be provided with stable, long term, public funding.”

That was November 29, 2004. Stephen Harper.

They are more observant than lefties with a blind spot who see the CBC's form of bias as unbiased because they share their bias.

But...how do you explain lefties that can see the bias but don't share it?

Maybe what you need to do is to completely reassess what you believe or think you know about lefties.
