I don't own a television, however, I like the quality of CBC produced
documentaries.  Most networks don't produce documentaries because they
are not money earners.  I think that the CBC should be efficient and
not wasteful or money resources (from our taxes) but apart from that I
don't mind my taxes going to the CBC. 

I listen to CBC radio every day, most of the day.  I love having no
commercials.  I love listening to good quality programming.  The
journalists are also very good, in my opinion.  CBC has my support.

In general, I guess I like having an alternate to U.S. programming.
