Every time CBC gets budgets cut, it hits CBC radio first and hardest. It’s an extremely small portion of the Federal Government’s budget. This has nothing to do with fiscal restraint, and is purely about neocons who don’t like there being a public owned media source existing at all. They want 100% corporate media and nothing less.
I’m pretty sure that’s a choice made by CBC brass. TV and Internet get ad revenue, so they’re easier to keep, since they partially pay for themselves. Much of the time, I feel like CBC’s worst enemy is their own management.
