Also, I do care how the government handles my money. And investing my money in hockey broadcast rights in Canada is actually a pretty sound investment, as it will turn a decent profit for them, which they can then in turn invest elswhere.
What I'd like them to stop doing is wasting money on the 98% of their other shows that nobody watches and actually CAUSES the CBC to bleed money and waste my tax payer dollars all in the name of "Canadian Content". As far as I'm concerned, the CBC can go to dead air if they aren't covering hockey or it isn't one of their few other money making shows, but any investment they choose to make in Saturday Night Hockey is a good one because it actually grows the money the portion of the tax payers dollars used on the production.

You don't bitch about underfunding, but the cbc always does.
You hit the nail on the head. Cbc makes money off hockey broadcasts to subsidize crappy dramas that no one watches. Take away the funding from hockey and you don't have the money to produce other programming which forces them to focus on core competencies, the news.
Again, sorry for replying to your message, was intended for diane_phaneuf's taxpayer dime comment.
