I think CBC radio generally does a good job of what it is trying to accomplish (and in some places is the only readily accessible media so is of critical importance) but I must admit to puzzlement over people’s love of CBC Television. It is mostly super bland pablum, I assume for people who have medical conditions that make overstimulation dangerous. It is clearly the product of committee thinking and is completely deferential to the government without any sense of irony or self deprecation. It has its moments sometimes, but if people are looking for high brow there is generally way better content on TVO, PBS, HBO, BBC, Netflix or YouTube.
