CBC took a turn many years ago, somebody in charge wanted to treat it like a private company. So they will cater to whomever pays revenue. One example: They had some great new music channels promoting new canadian artists, it got shut down after a long run because the new leader said we don't know how many listeners we reach, and eveen with podcast downloads we don't know how many will listen (to ads) we have no way to monetize it, etc They are no longer invested in being a public system that does good for the sake of Canada.

I miss Radio3 so much. Indie music in Canada in the 2000s-2010s was astonishingly good.
