They have great documentaries, movies and tv series such as North of North.

The more that people use their services the more funding they can can receive from the federal government to expand their programming lineup.

      TVO is good. The Tripping the series is great.

      It knows exactly who its intended audience is, and it’s a pretty fuckin’ niche one (x-heads who also want some Canadian history and naturalist edutainment).

      ugh… this is the worst part about GEM… login? premium?

      hello… i already pay for premium CBC GEM… it’s called TAXES… and if they’re not getting enough funding, then i also support increasing their funding. not forcing me to create yet another login and password for something

          How is it entitlement?

          I am a huge supporter of the CBC. But it should be funded properly, instead of asking for subscription fees. It is a gov’t service

          Would you be OK having to pay a subscription fee to use your local library? Or do you use it for free?

          Wow, so entitled!

            My guess is the government pays for maintenance and the subscriptions are for development/improvement.
