1 Recovery Plan CBC/Radio-Canada

2 Guiding Principles The current challenge affects the entire Corporation. We are addressing it as one company. Every component is contributing to the solution. The Corporation will implement cuts with an eye to ensuring it is positioned to remain a relevant and effective 21 st century public broadcaster. CBC/Radio-Canada will become a content company; Shift from a television provider to a source of video content Shift from a radio provider to a source of audio content. CBC/Radio-Canada will become the most important creator and distributor of Canadian content across all major platforms Canadians use. To ensure continued engagement with Canadians, CBC/Radio-Canada will find ways to remain deeply rooted in the regions. This means striking the right balance between national and regional services, using the most appropriate platforms.
