  1. Meh, with the advent of satellite tv, the internet, and social media/alternative news outlets, we have options now.. we can finally be selective about whose lies we suffer.. The future is wonderful! What a time to be alive..

      1. Every time the cable or internet / phone providers call me to upgrade) to try to sell me a cable package I say Ok but I’m not buying if I have to include Canada’s legacy MSM in the package and we’re faced with the standoff.
        The cable companies aren’t given the choice to include or not, and neither am I. So here we are…

        It appears I’ll still be paying for this until at least October 2026 after which it may be on the table…
        The CBC gave itself terrific bonus’ last year, maybe they’ll do so again this year?

        1. The companies are required to provide those stations by the CRTC.
          They have no choice.
          That includes all the French and HeyHoHeyHo drumming nonsense too.

          1. Whoa! You can get injun drum circles on Canadian cable? Sign me up cause I just wanna bang on the drum all day. I could play along and sing along. I haven’t been able to do that since grooving to the drum gathering every day at Sproul Plaza, UC Berkeley in the 1970’s.

          2. “The companies are required to provide those stations by the CRTC.”

            That isn’t what they told Sun News. They told them that they were not included on basic cable because they were switching to a station by station subscription process. Sun shut down in 2015 and the station by station lie has never been heard again.

          3. Yes, I know they’re required by the CRTC, and I continue to say this to the cable provider’s call centre people who are maybe in some New Delhi suburb and have no real idea of how free we all are here…
            The Harper Gov’t refused to add SUN Tv to tier 1 status for cable providers, which sealed SUN Tv’s fate, and I’m a bit pissed at that still even though I’m not big on Tv.

        2. “Every time the cable or internet / phone providers call me”

          Dude, you still get cable? Why? There’s nothing on. ~:D

          I don’t even watch the CBC clips on YouTube. Some fat woman lying to me about what happened today? Nope. Nopity nope.

          1. I don’t have cable, they try to upsell my internet / phone to include cable, I have a Tv but am in no hurry to see how or if it works with a PlutoTv signal. A project for next year.

    2. Buy an Amazon Fire Stick. Plugs into your HDMI Input.
      It has a system of programmers you purchase the “unlock” from..
      You get 1000’s of channels and it is not overwhelming. The remote has voice command. Dump Rogers/Bell – we paid $70 for the stick each then $250 for 2 sticks unlocked for the year. Then you just deal through text with the contact.

      Saving over $1400/yr and we get everything -Free PPV,UFC Whatever. International channels galore.
      Bell, let’s Talk…not

      1. My ATT cable had spiraled to $300/mo. … rental fee for each box in each room, separate charges for programs that used to be free, death by a thousand cuts (like the Iranian regime). I tried calling them and demanding cost reduction or I would leave. I tried negotiating with them. I tried diplomacy. Their response was always the same … they tried to upsell me to even MORE expensive programs and packages.

        I told them I was moving alternately carriers into their arena … and they just kept up their belligerence. Finally I’d had it and unleashed Epic Fury on ATT. I now have Sling TV for less than 1/3 of ATT’s cost, and it has everything I could ever need.

        Oh. And I haven’t had Netflix since they were a mailbox movie rental company. Why? Because they are a hate-America terrorist org.

    1. Good one, Jamie.
      Allow me to rearrange your sentence…
      “There’s a lot of awful things I’ve never seen on the CBC.”
      I haven’t watched CBC TV since the 1980s and even then it was only for a couple of shows.
      I haven’t had cable since the 1990s and I don’t care what I missed seeing.
      Thank you Frank Zappa.

  5. Broadcast TV is still a thing? Who knew?

    We turned off the TV about 15 years ago and don’t miss it one bit. Our kids who are now young adults have never been into TV. When my generation grew up we had favourite TV shows that we always watched and scheduled our day around and got together with friends to watch. The entire country had a common culture around shared TV experiences. That is all gone now. To people of my kids generation TV is as relevant at the telegraph service. When the older generation dies off TV will join the ever growing list of unlamented obsolete technologies.

    1. Oh! I totally agree with you! When I was young, we had Sunday dinner at 5:30 pm because The Wonderful World of Disney was on at 6:00 pm, then it was Bonanza at 7:00 pm and finally, The Ed Sullivan Show at 8:00 pm. (am I dating myself?)
      I cut cable about 5 years ago and do not miss it. I never watched CBC, CTV or Global, watched some PBS for the British programs. I now have Prime Streaming with BritBox so still get my British shows.

      1. I still listen to radio in the car, but my children use their phone to listen to on-line radio and broadcast it through the car audio. Radio doesn’t even have the captive audience of commuters anymore.

        1. The kids use spotify or similar subscription services. I use Bluetooth to play music I store on my phone. Radio stations have far too many commercials interrupting the music.

          My youngest just recently started burning CDs from her music era and, more surprisingly, songs from our old CDs. A year or so back, as a joke, I added some old blues to one of my other kids YouTube account when he foolishly left without logging out. He actually watched the videos and commented about the great guitar playing. Then he bought the CD for his car. I find both occurrences interesting. Is this a trend with other young people?

        2. Terrestrial radio is awful. Doesn’t matter if it’s am or fm. Am is all talk talk talk, usually from the bleeding heart left in Vancouver or Victoria.
          Fm is pathetic with 10 minutes of yak, commercials and government propaganda between songs you’ve heard a million times.
          I still suffer the channel switching blues when I take the truck out. OTOH, the car has satellite radio, commercial free. Lots of musical choice.
          I don’t know anyone that listens to the radio anymore. And yes, TV is dying out. As Ezra
          said years ago, the only people watching the “news” are under 6 years old, and over 80 years old. Their language, style and demeaning emotional delivery all speak to that.

          1. I’ve shilled for them here on previous occasions …. But I love my local High School … yes, High School FM station … which also streams (where I mostly listen to it)
            https://www.kvhs.com/
            Clayton Valley HS started a radio station back in the 1970’s by a teacher who wanted to give a hands on broadcasting experience for the kids … educational doncha know. Well, their station is devoted to essentially ONLY 1970’s rock music … but also has sets of 1970’s jazz, fusion, world music, space-music (as I call it) … some pretty far out stuff. But I mostly enjoy their deep-cuts from the 1970’s … bands from every nation and sub genre.

            It’s rarely repetitive or boring (except some of the weird space music). Their program director knows more music and creates mixes that are as good as any of the old CA college radio stations of the 1970’s. Dude knows his catalog.

            He’s turned me on to a bunch of bands I’d never heard of: Eloy, Kahvas Jute, Hard Meat … to name just a few.

      2. For an extra special treat we would go over to Auntie Anne’s place and watch Bonanza in colour.

  6. Despite the downside of streaming services, one big benefit is not ever having to watch Canadian tv networks. It’s literally been years since I’ve watched a Canadian news program. The only thing a 90s sitcom and Canadian “news” have in common is that they’re both fiction but old sitcoms are entertaining and harmless. I get most of my news from alternative online sources (meaning non-government funded, non-government controlled)

    At this point, you can tell after a few minutes of conversation if the person you’re talking to still watches CBC, CTV or Global news. Canadians have two solitudes but not the old French/English division. The new one is senior citizens tied to the old government propaganda networks and the majority of younger Canadians using internet sources where you have use your own judgement on credibility. As many know, the decline of CBC viewership is directly related to this movement of younger people away from traditional tv. This will accelerate as the oldest generation passes on. Not sure who will still be watching traditional canadian tv in 10 years or so.

    1. Indeed. Every once in awhile you should have a gander at the MSM delivery of propaganda to remind yourself how insulting their propaganda is.
      The voice inflections. Head tosses. Side comments. The sneers. The obvious Leftwing bias. Talking down to. It’s all Standard Procedure on GlowBull and CTV, but can’t speak to the Corpse, as I refuse to pollute my home with Carneyvision.
      And it’s not just Canadians. Western society has fallen prey to the forces of leftists/globalist propaganda. At least Aus and even England still have Center right TV news options. It’s been outlawed in Canadastan.

      1. I might take your advice but I doubt I’ll be able to stomach watching for very long.

        Recently there was a short clip on X of the CBC At Issues panel discussing Alberta. 3 panelists and 1 host from central Canada’s southern tip pretending they know something about Alberta but not one of them made any rational or interesting arguments. Zero understanding of the issues being discussed on the western prairies. Condescending, snobby, scolding are 3 words amongst many to describe their behavior.

        If that’s, the best quality analysis from the CBC then there’s no point watching them. I doubt CTV or Global are any better.

        1. I see those same clips on X as well, but can’t be bothered to unmute them.
          Conservative voices on the Corpse are rare, and those that are allowed, Lisa Raitt for example, tend to be Red Tories.
          Andrew Coyne is the worse of the worst. On the Corpse, he’s called a ‘conservative’, but he’s been a feminized Lieberal harpy for at least 30 years. He’s Canada’s Olbermann.
          CBC’s overt bias for all things FarLeft is shameless and embarrassing.
          Canadians that watch and believe CBC tripe are even more so.
          As for the others? Well, their biased coverage didn’t happen overnight. They’ve been in the tank for years, can’t say when it started, but, they saw OBongo as God, Harrrrrrrrpurrrrrrrrrr, the love-in with Blackie, and of course Covid will kill you/Jabs will save you, you stupid dumb anti-vaxxes, and the So Called Fweedumb Convoy.
          You can’t hate the media enough.

      2. “The voice inflections. Head tosses. Side comments. The sneers. The obvious Leftwing bias. Talking down to.”

        Absolutely. The adjectives too: Debunked, unsubstantiated, illegal, “has not provided proof of”, etc.

    2. I watch the news on TV sometimes just to see what propaganda we’re supposed to follow; Global is good at that. CTV? I watched yesterday. We’re in the middle of a full-on war, Cuba is collapsing, etc. They had 3 stories with cute baby animals. I have satellite radio and used to channel hop driving to work to compare the buzz words and talking points between US, Canada and the UK. Same. “Emolument, not exonerated” etc. Except the BBC was slightly more creative.

  7. Carney’s going to ban Netflix, or force people to watch an hour of CBC before they can access other content.

    1. With all the pedo, feminist and LGBTQ garbage on Netflix? He’ll be making it mandatory.

  8. Everything cited is a justification for government support of legitimate journalism. Those numbers are, in Marxist clown world, wonderful.

    1. When a twenty something independent investigative journalist can uncover massive fraud in Minnesota while every professional journalist missed the story for years…it’s not about government support or money. Modern journalists have sold out both their profession and their personal integrity for political favor. More government support only increases the problem.

  9. CBC doesn’t allow comments on their stories on their websites, on their Youtube channel, and they seem to have left Twitter.
    The common thread seems to be they don’t want any backtalk.
    The ‘Voice For Canadians’ is pretty intent on silencing us.

    1. Didn’t you listen Stan? THEY are the ‘Voice For Canadians’, not us little people.

  10. And to think, the Corpse had crap numbers to start with, since, well, forever.
    Good question: Are the ElboWZos migrating to GlowBull or LiberalCTVision?
    They continue to get their programming somewhere. After all, Léger says 49% of voters choose Marx Carnage.
    There’s a YUGE disconnect somewhere.

  11. Watch Marx Carnage increase the CBC budget by 110%. CBC employees are civil servants are Lieberal party members/supporters after all.
