CBC-TV has become a $1.3-billion-a year “make-work project,” producing programming Canadian taxpayers are not watching and don’t want, according to a senator.
The remarks from Senator Leo Housakos were made to the Senate chamber Wednesday after reports emerged the national broadcaster was facing program cuts due to a plunge in TV ad revenues. A second quarter financial report showed ad revenues dropped 19% in six months, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
