Wow! That is a great deal of employees. Many Canadians think our CBC is bloated. According to Wikipedia, as of April 2025, CBC/Radio Canada had approximately 7710 full time employees.

Wow again! That 180 pound BBC license fee [$331 Cdn] makes the tax dollars I pay to support the CBC seem like a relative bargain even though the Mother Corporation's English television service has only I small handful of shows that interest me.

BBC also has a much bigger budget than CBC/Radio Canada. Their 5.9 billion British pound revenue (license fee tax, advertising, cable revenue, program sales etc.) is almost $11 billion in Canadian funds. CBC/RC total revenue including taxes, cable revenue, advertising, program sales etc. is just shy of $2 billion CND.

Their reporting integrity has also gone in the toilet over the last few years. They are in many cases a propoganda outlet. One recent example below about a fake story they ran and then had to retract:
The BBC has no shame. They currently have a main article where they quote an "Iranian" who is supposedly okay with the US/Israel levelling Iran by using a nuclear weapon. Read that again. This is staggeringly false and beyond sicking. Further manufactured consent begins...
