So, what do you think the solution is to keep the CBC both financially viable while at the same time relevant?

Mansbridge said it in the interview I posted. Most people look to the CBC for news and current affairs.
Cuts can start with the activists pretending to be reporters, shouldn't be hard because the worst of them were the last in. Try in a small way to address the bias which has gotten progressively worse (pardon the expression)
If and when the cuts come, they have to pare down upper management, they can start with Krusty.
I would look at what kind of shows can be shot exclusively at the Broadcast Centre ie pared down variety or music shows like Rita MacNeil had, office programs like The Newsroom or The Office.
Get rid of the British imports, do people still watch Coronation Street, I used to for years but it looks like crap now,
See if you can get a big American import and build your own shows around it.
Get rid of anything to do with This Hour (they've had more than their share of run)
Go back to the vaults and remaster classic drama shows and repackage them with cool intros. I've heard they can't do that because of union payment issues. I don't know if it is true or not but like the Olympic Stadium just do it right and fix it, once and for all.
Just some thoughts to ponder, some may be reasonable some not.
