PBS in the US would be a good starting model. The key difference being PBS is not a strong news gathering organization, the CBC is. The model could still work. The local operators run local news where and when it makes sense. They don't have to do the same things in all markets.

The PBS (and US) model seems much less desirable than the BBC model, which is what initially inspired the CBC even if it is not identical to it.
The US mediascape has way more actors and is more diverse, but not sure it's better than ours in terms of having access to reliable unbiased news coverage.
