And they don't have to come from the US either, many Canadians like watching something along the lines of 24 or CSI, CBC should get a show like that going. Would greatly improve their ratings.

The problem is that the CBC needs to try and cover a huge spectrum of interests. Even though most people will probably not be interested in everything that is on CBC 24/7 because of the massive variety, there is likely at least an hour of programming per day that will appeal to a particular demographic in this country.
They have news, sports, movies, kids shows, teen shows, old people shows, outdoors shows, talk shows, comedy, documentaries, etc... How many other networks have that kind of variety (or need to)? Most networks specialize in just 1 or 2 areas now.
Also, I would be willing to bet that shows like CSI and 24 have budgets that are higher than what CBC can afford. Part of the reason those shows are good, is because they can lure good actors, and actors that are highly marketable. I would be all for increasing CBCs budget though.
