The poll was carried out by the Friends of Canadian Broadcasting, a volunteer-funded lobby group of CBC supporters. The poll was carried out among 1004 adult Canadians. Results are considered to be accurate to within three per cent. About two-thirds of this was from the sale of TV shows.
Exports account for a third of the sales revenues from TV programs and movies.
Ontario accounted for 63 per cent of all production revenue up from 57 per cent the previous year. B.C. only accounted for 4.9 per cent of the Canadian industry last year. The Prairie provinces and the Maritimes combined accounted for 6.3 per cent. Employment in the sector grew 13.5 per cent with 18,742 people working in film and TV production. But only 3,711 of those jobs are full time with most of the rest being freelancers.
