CBC Exposed: CBC Plans to Go More Commercial ...

- We are now reaching a milestone of 200,000 visits: viewers have come from all over Canada - from Halifax to Victoria and from as far away as the U.K., France, the U.S., Russia, China, Mexico and South America.

- cbcExposed has become the one stop authoritative information source for research on the waste and arrogance of the government broadcaster.

- Visitors include colleges, universities, libraries, politicians, community groups, legal, media and yes, the CBC HQ as well.

- This website exposes the CBC for what it really is: a left wing biased, anti-Israel, anti-business, wasteful abuser of tax money that siphons $100,000,000 from taxpayers every 30 days to subsidize their outdated bureaucracy.

- Read about the victims of the CBC bias including the infamous Fifth Estate show’s vicious attack on Dr. Frans Leenen which resulted in the largest libel amount ever awarded against the media in Canadian history. Yet no one was fired, no changes, just more CBC victims.

- Canadians reading this extensive collection of stories exposing the CBC will agree – its time to do what has already been done with other government owned, private enterprise competitive business such as Air Canada: privatize the CBC.

- Sell the CBC now. Use the billions of dollars gained from the sale to pay down the debt; use the $100,000,000 a month (yes, that's 100 MILLION every month) saved from the subsidy to the CBC to improve our health care and reduce our taxes.

- Act now, contact your MP and tell them it's now time "to sell" the CBC!

CBC Plans to Go More Commercial ...

The introduction of unlimited ads on two CBC radio services, Espace musique and Radio Two, would signal the end of commercial-free CBC radio. We believe the next step would be the introduction of ads on Radio One and La Premiere Chaine -- a direct result of cuts to CBC's parliamentary grant ...

The CBC is already over-exposed commercially because of its reliance on Hockey Night in Canada to make ends meet. Both Bell and Rogers have expressed an interest in bidding on HNIC, in negotiations with the NHL next year.

The move towards more commercialization will turn CBC into a private broadcaster which loses one billion dollars a year ...

The privileged government media giant, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation- the CBC, is out of control, a bull in the proverbial china shop, with huge amounts of money pouring into their abyss of spending waste every day. And, it’s not enough to spend the vast amount of money they receive from advertising revenues and from the viewer fees gobbled up from the public – paid to them from the cable and satellite companies – no, that is not enough money for the untouchable, powerful CBC execs. They demand and get more money from the federal bureaucrats and politicians. Unfortunately, that ‘more’ is a lot of money and it comes from the little guys such as you, the taxed to death taxpayers of Canada.

The CBC receives a billion dollars plus, every year from us and the Corp., as they are called, have special powers to prevent any normal public investigation of their funding expenses- expenses such as compensation to senior executives and to talent, and on their huge spending for programming content costs. Mega public money is devoured by them every day with little accountability.

Their competition, CTV and Shaw/Global, for example, survive and indeed prosper from the advertising and cable/satellite fees earned. However, this significant amount of normal broadcast industry standard revenue, easily capable of making a private sector broadcast group happy, is not sufficient for the money burning privileged CBC. In fact, we taxpayers are giving them more than an additional one billion dollars every year. Yes that’s $1 billion. More than one billion dollars of your tax money, plucked out of your pocket and given as a free gift to this government owned media service every twelve months. And, if that is not enough to shock you, please know that the CBC continues to operate in an arrogant ‘we are exempt from the rules’ manner, making it difficult for the public to access any information about how they operate. To attempt to find out how much the Corp. pays their talent, or to simply have a review of their budgets, perhaps see how they run their programming and ‘objective’ news operation, you will likely have to fight hard including pursuing the difficult ‘access to information’ process-and years later if you do get it the info you requested may be redacted. Good luck trying. CBC executives continue to act as if we the taxpayers are just an unlimited ATM vehicle for their pleasure. Enough is Enough. It’s time for a change!

Please read through this new grass roots blog and we invite you to join with us to take some affirmative action. Vote here to sell the CBC or send a complaint to the CBC’s government regulatory body, the CRTC. Do you work at the CBC, or are you a former employee? (We know many hard working employees there, they are not the problem, the CBC execs are the problem) so become a whistleblower, send in your news story, your videos exposing the CBC exec s ‘wasteful management. Together we can make a positive difference. We can tell the people in charge, the senior politicians and bureaucrats who can make this change, that it is not acceptable to reach into our pocketbooks to grab one billion dollars every year to give to a privileged, arrogant government owned out of control media service. It’s time to say no, to say ‘you’re hard earned tax money is not to be wasted anymore, that you are mad as hell and not going to take it anymore’. We need change. Act now!

It’s time to sell the CBC. Use those billions in proceeds from the sale plus also keep the more than one billion dollars wasted in that giant media ATM cave every year, to invest it into something of real value- health care, education, the arts, or perhaps cut our taxes? Help us take action today. Read on, vote, see Contacts to pursue change, visit us regularly for up-dated stories, get informed, become involved.
