The CBC
The CBC’s current management would have to have the right to tender, along with the dozens of experienced private broadcasters and specialty-channel operators, many of whom have been saying quietly for years that they would love to get their hands on the dinosaur, to show the country what a really distinguished public-broadcasting service would look and sound like at, say, 30 per cent of the present cost.

If you took away Hockey Night in Canada its viewership would be barely perceptible. What is needed is a wholesale rethink of what public broadcasting is and how it should be done.
If done at all.
