In reply to the discussion: Canada brings down ax on TV, film funding [View all]Fix The Stupid
(952 posts)12. lol.. The sun...
Yeah, right wing rag. Total garbage.
This is personal to me and here is why.
I cannot receive CBC where I live. It's that simple.
I love hockey and I will not be able to watch a single playoff game - here's why.
When the transition to digital broadcasting was completed last year, CBC decided that all of the viewers south of London just did not matter to them and did not 'boost' their "over the air" signal to accommodate them. Lots of people cannot watch CBC since the analog to digital conversion...
So.. that begs the question.... I pay for the CBC with my Tax dollars - why should I have to also pay Rogers/Shaw/Bell/Starchoice to receive it?
And c'mon, open the books - it's a public company, paid for by our tax dollars - every $ should be accounted for.. why is that a "right wing" attitude?
