Pains me to see CBC go down this path - from their recent modernization changes that made their website unusable for basic things like news, to seeing comments like this. Makes me wonder why "non-tech" companies just copy tech companies that are able to innovate and move faster without considering their own fate. But then I remember how they work and that every company is now a tech company at the apparent mercy of FAANG. I'm seeing a lot of talk about our neighbours down south but not a lot of action. This piece made it seem like CBC is losing a piece of the pie and they are salty. Makes me feel sad to see this from the top down. We have the same tech available and the similar resources but it seems that we would much rather partner or purchase than take some risk and try something different. I hope I am wrong. |

They broadcast in HD and SD for free, funded in part by public funding, advertising, merchandising, and licensing.
Netflix buys CBC content, and they're not the only ones.
While I might not appreciate her crassness, I understood it as a caution-call for new content delivery companies from other countries not conforming to Canadian broadcast law. Much like Uber skirted taxi laws. I'm sure most people here could run with the like examples from there.
As for the CBC site, if you're looking for a pared down version, they provide rss feeds and their site works perfectly fine as a news reader with JS disabled.
