"The estimated $33-million cost of the plan over five years – which includes doubling the percentage of the CBC’s budget going toward digital services – is expected to come through further cost-cutting and streamlining efficiencies. The broadcaster won’t be asking Ottawa for extra funding, CBC executives said. .... Meanwhile, CBC management stressed its new regional expansion. Over the past several months, there has already been an increase in local news and programming across Canada, including pilots for new morning and weekend news shows. But around seven million Canadians, even those in relatively large towns and cities, currently don’t have local or regional fare, a particular problem in the West. Upcoming expansions will entail giving some CBC regional offices new equipment to deliver radio, TV and digital programming. The CBC will also create “micro” news websites for large communities, for example the large Montreal suburb of Longueuil. Hamilton is another city under consideration for local coverage on the Internet."
