," he said. "It will include bundled stories that appear across the country and are put together around certain themes and will include some original programs." The National's Adrienne Arsenault will take over hosting duties from Monday to Thursday under a new title, chief correspondent for CBC News. "Part of this streaming strategy actually began by us noticing more than a year ago that a lot of people were watchingat night on a connected TV, so they were streaming it rather than through traditional cable."The benefit of ad-supported channels, Merritt said, is that "viewers can try them out without having to throw down money," particularly in the case of FAST channels that offer a paid component.
Ads will be cheap with so few viewers. Does this lame duck make it a year before it’s killed or more likely to on the govt teat like the rest of CBC?
What's the National? Never heard of her or the CBC?
6 weeks. That's how long I give it before its canceled due to lack of viewers. How much of our tax dollars did you guys waste on this doomed endeavor?
LMFAO 🤣 will it last as long as CNN+? Oh of course it will it’s fucking state funded propaganda!!
Blackface teen groper WeScandel LavaScam fake feminist drama teacher globalist dictator emergency act coward communist 👎🏾👎🏾🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Lol cbc is a joke!!
Just play Beachcombers re-runs it might help boost your failed ratings
More propaganda shows…who would actually pay to watch this government rollout
Its still biased Liberal news so...who cares
Why are you starting another fake news channel when you are going to to defunded by PierrePoilievre very soon. You are wasting more of our taxpayer dollars. Bye Bye RosieBarton
Great more news.
I’m sorry to hear that Let’s hope we can defund the cbc as soon as possible No more pro Trudeau TV
Defund the CBC
Leftist propaganda streaming 24/7...
CBC IS WASTING OUR COLLECTIVE TAXPAYER MONEY. NO INE ASKED FOR THIS SHIT DefundCBC
Is Andrew Yang still diverse enough? Shouldn't it be a black trans in wheelchair with a stutter hosting?
Will you be flying the Liberal flags in the background
No one will be watching it, DefundtheCBC
If cbc wasn't a failed shameless tax guzzling propaganda machine and was instead private, this would turn out to be another CNN+ epic failure. defundcbc
A new fake news channel
yet another FAKE NEWS channel, fools
I hope Andrew will follow in the footsteps of AJEnglish

Noooo just go away
Trying to save sinking flagship, eh...?
Can't wait for CBC's new show
Lmao …… another flop. I’d rather watch steel , rust . Fakenews cbc
I hope it does as well as CNN+
I just love that everyone is roasting this hard. It will most definitely crash and burn.
Do you mean the government is launching a new propaganda arm of the CBC.
I’d rather watch paint dry.
Speaking for most Canadians, no one cares what you do anymore, except for pissing away millions of our hard earned tax dollars.
Brainstorm: How to monetize our propaganda?
Yikes
A person would have to have a pretty boring life if he has to stream CBC with Chang who is probably a chinese plant inside the governments broadcaster. There is no coming back from where your organization is going, and you are just about at your destination.
OhSheri1 Blah Blah Blah
We don’t make enough dough to subscribe to that channel
Unfortunately this Car Wreck will last longer than CNN+ do to the Liberal government wasting OUR tax dollars on this folly. Check the Dailywire subscription model If you tell the Truth They Will Subscribe MSM is a dying dinosaur
This is like that broadcast in 1984 right? How long until the speaker gets installed in every home?
Waste of money
Gem had ads begging for money for the CBC and repeats the same 4 ads over and over. This will fail.
“Different than CBC NN” but where does it fit with GEM? Will it be available there? Is it a subscriber service? I need more info….
Actually a smart idea.
Well. Somebody will be happy with this news. I don't have a tv and am to lazy to connect to the national online so it doesn't relate to me. Never mind, I haven't watched the program in so many years.
Why are the political viewpoints and selection of coverage of CBC in lockstep with the war machine adjacent news media in the USA like MSNBABCNN. What was the point of having a public broadcaster in the first place?
leftist liberal spewage 24/7?..no thanx !
The dangers of mixing of church and state was a hard won lesson of history. The liars and deceivers at CBC ought be divorced from the teet of public funds and political influence from Ottawa as soon as possible.
Wonder if it's going to fail just like CNN+?
1 billion dollar budget from the tax payer and pitiful engagement. Nobody wants a political lecture from the wacky, miseducated, woke, academics who think that their job as journalists is to craft deceptive narratives instead of convey raw facts.
I guess I will have to chase Andrew on streaming and polish my technology skills
Finally the ridiculous idea of multiple hosts every night has been abandoned. Hopefully never to be repeated. Will CBC be showing fireworks coverage from Ottawa tomorrow on main channel? If not....WHY?
Can it last longer then CNN+
Part of this streaming strategy actually began by us noticing more than a year ago that a lot of people were watching The National at night on a connected TV, so they were streaming it rather than through traditional cable.' Sorry. What? A year ago you noticed this
More tax $$ wasted!
