EXCERPT:
OTTAWA – The Conservative government’s long-standing promise to keep the CBC’s federal funding stable appears to be in tune with public opinion.
A Harris-Decima survey conducted for The Canadian Press suggests 46 per cent of Canadians would like the CBC’s funding to stay at the current level and 23 per cent would like it to be increased.
On the flip side, twenty-two per cent say funding should be cut, while 12 per cent say it should be eliminated altogether.
…
The survey found that Canadians who wanted the funding decreased or cut completely were more likely to be Conservative supporters, men, those over the age of 50 and respondents living in Alberta.
Those who were for increased funding were most likely to be from Atlantic Canada, New Democrats, and those with household incomes exceeding $100,000 annually.
