In mid-month, colleague Brian Lilley wrote a column on the CBC’s dreadful news ratings, despite taxpayers being forced to give the broadcaster a whopping annual welfare cheque of $1.2 billion.
Lilley put this to readers: “Did you know that across Canada, over a total of 27 stations coast-to-coast, the average audience for CBC’s supper hour newscast was 329,000 people? That’s not 329,000 people per market, that’s across the country.”
He compared it to one of CTV’s local supper hour newscasts, CFTO in Toronto, which is averaging 1.4 million viewers per night.
