Canada

I'm a full supporter of the CBC ... the public absolutely needs a publically funded broadcaster and news organisation.

What we don't need is high paid executives that soak so much needless waste just to hold on to supposed high ranked talent. Spread the money around and fund more young journalists, writers, producers and production people. It would be better to have lots of moderately paid professionals, rather than try to spend as much money as possible in a few high priced executives.

And move the headquarters away from an expensive downtown city. Place it in a part of the country that needs the money. We live in a digital world so there is no great need to physically locate your office in the most expensive place possible.

I can't get any reasonable source of where CBC money goes because the federal government doesn't provide a sunshine list of what people actually make and how much they actually spend. Which is also a problem as the costs the CBC incurs should be fully disclosed. How are we to judge how much to give to the CBC if we don't fully understand where their funds go.

There are ways to save the CBC, we don't need to save a few high priced people, high priced contracts in order to do it.
