I don't have details on that, because I worked at CBC in-house or on contract for about 20 years, and then got mad and quit one day. After that, I was an independent filmmaker for another 20 years. My income for the last 20 years has all been mixed up in trying to put together money to make independent documentaries, so there isn't a clear and simple answer to that in my particular case.
For example, as I was explaining earlier, if we went to pitch a film, to make a film, which is equivalent really to writing a book except that it's more expensive, we would get 15% of the budget in a licence fee from a broadcaster. Say CBC says, “Yes, we'll green-light your project”, you get 15% from the CBC, and you have to raise 85% from a whole slew of other things, including tax credits and all kinds of stuff like that. Finally, you're the last guy to get paid because you have to pay the subcontractors that you hire, the cameramen, and the musicians who do the soundtrack for it. It's a really convoluted way to make a living, and you basically never do more than break even most of the time.
I had no idea until I dropped out of television and decided I wanted to do this for a living how much worse it is in publishing. I thought television was messed up.
