I don't care much about the royal family, but I appreciate the CBC. Whereas its mandate has always been to provide programming to remote regions of Canada and to promote and encourage Canadian content, the one and only goal of most other media outlets is to make money for their shareholders. CBC radio provides commercial-free broadcasts of programming that is much more satisfying intellectually than its MSM counterparts. As well, Canadian broadcasting content is a major contributing factor in maintaining a 'Canadian identity', and is different from and far superior to the pap and pablum served up by for-profit stations.
