I've long been an advocate to try to ensure that CBC content is as widely accessible and available as possible. It seems to me that intermediaries that help ensure that this takes place are exactly what we want to see happen. The public has already paid for this content, and to have the CBC effectively now compete with local media, not just for digital ad dollars but now compete as well for this pot of money, I think is harmful at the end of the day.
