That's also without commercials (outside for BBC shows)
shows like Top Gear, Doctor Who, Planet earch have made the beeb hundreds of millions of dollars on their own
they also just have a history of quality and have shown some of the best shows on tv, it's too many to count but as varied as Monty Python to Sherlock to The Office etc.
why can't CBC be even 1% of that

Because the best Canadian writers and actors can drive a short distance south and earn a truckload more money. Also, every sod that lives here and wants a TV has to pay £145.50 a year for a TV licence.
