And we need it. The reason broadcasting, cable and telecoms are regulated in Canada, as everywhere else in the world, is because the airwaves are supposed to be public property. We regard mass media as utilities to be managed for the public good because everyone needs their product. That is why we need them, if only to show up the competition when they fob us off with crap. We need a strong, active CBC because we need someone to assert our rights, as the owners of the airwaves.
Media appears here every two weeks.
