[QUOTE="wat0114, post: 1089132, member: 91306"] This year they received 1.4 billion in taxpayer funding, while 1143 CBC staffers received nearly 15 million in bonuses in 2023 alone, which equates to about 13,000 per staff member. Handsome bonuses were paid out despite layoff announcements. Currently there are 1450 staffers taking home 6 figure salaries. The number of staffers taking a 6 figure salary annually is a 231% increase since the Trudeau government took power in 2015. I do get much of my news from the CBC and I also like some of the streaming content on Gem. That said, they tip-toe around federal government issues, careful not to anger them lest they receive less funding, and the dollar figures for salaries and bonuses can't be justified from a taxpayer-funded news source. There are other good, reputable sources of online news such as the globe and mail, AP and local content where I live. [/QUOTE]
