What about us?
It’s good to see them finally doing something to inform the public ( >300,000 pop.) on this. Better at least than Moore’s, “let the market figure it out” approach. That’s all good and fine for private stations but what about the government tax-funded CBC? I live in a rural community and CBC is the only station broadcast here, I would be surprised to see our old analog repeater replaced with a digital one. Does that mean I can deduct my CBC tax from my annual return, or will there actually be some type of plan to provide service to rural Canadians?
… and yes I could buy satellite but all I want is my publicly funded CBC, not a forced ‘package’.
