Let's talk about Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, because these are always the two programs that attract most attention because you can't miss them if you watch television on CBC in the evenings.
These two properties are very important to our strategy. One, they add and bring revenues to CBC/Radio Canada that we immediately reinvest in Canadian programming. Second, they serve as raises to our schedules. We use these and they are strategically placed in our programming schedule to bring Canadians—about a million of them watch Jeopardy every night--into our programming schedule, which is all-Canadian in prime time, from 8 p..m. to 11p.m.
Are we happy that we have to use Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune to generate revenue so that we can invest in Canadian programming? The answer is that if I could.... This is not the best of decisions, but they serve important purposes: they generate revenues and they lift our schedules. That's why, madame, they are there.
