The CBC is going to have to do more than just eliminate commercials to attract those it's lost from years and years of lousy programming. I haven't watched anything on that channel for years since I stopped watching hockey and I've heard they even lost that as well. I don't use cable any longer and I get all my TV needs off of the internet free ( except for  the internet bill) all without commercials. The site I use shows me an image or cover pic of the show and its channel logo is usually located somewhere on the pic, when I see the CBC logo I skip past it with a high level of certainty that it's a low quality show that I'll have no interest in watching. They did that to me, I have no political motive for dissing what some see as an icon of Canadian culture. I was born and raised in this country and the CBC is an embarrassment.
