WINNIPEG, MB, December – The Frontier Centre for Public Policy has just released Continually Bleeding Cash: A Valuation & Strategic Appraisal of the CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation by Ian Madsen, a senior policy analyst with the Frontier Centre. This paper conducts an in-depth valuation and strategic appraisal of the CBC, using an intrinsic value method and market-based valuation system.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is a federally-owned Crown corporation which provides television, radio, and internet broadcasting across the country. In its current state, the CBC’s huge losses persist and, given the COVID-19 pandemic, it is unlikely that this will change. In fact, government ownership of a company exposes citizens and taxpayers to the unnecessary risks of economic and technological trends. This valuation explores the different ways in which the CBC could increase its profitability and become successful. There are many broadcasting networks around the world that are privately-owned and hence, fare better.
