$400,000,000 per year to produce audio content? Seems high. NPR is at $140,000,000.

CBC is also a premium quality television channel and news/media website. I believe CBC Radio is already ad free. The only ads I hear on it are ads for its own programming.

I wonder if they would also eliminate their house ads?

I hope not. They're not really ads so much as information. They're incredibly short and don't feel like ads. It's basically a, "Tonight at 8 we talk with some professor about some current event."
CBC produces at least 4 radio streams (Radio 1/2/3 in english, and at least one in french), and at least three TV channels (CBC TV, CBC News Network, and Radio-Canada)
To add to what you already have listed: there is a second radio stream in French (called Espace Musique) as well as a French equivalent to CBC News Network (called RDI for Réseau de l'information). There are also regional broadcast (in both French and English) as well as an international version.
There's also ARTV and Explora (both in french).
