As a concept I like the idea of a public broadcaster, in execution CBC blows. The only reasons I ever watch is for the news or HNIC. The last program I had interest in on their station outside of that was Kids in the Hall.
We don't need to look accross the pond for a good example of public TV; CBC's French Station, Radio Canada, does fantastic programming which is unique and really attracts all demographics. CBC should look to ses amis accross the hall on how to produce relevant programming at a reasonable (assuming their budgets are similar) cost.
