The CBC says it would consider selling buildings that house its radio and TV stations in a bid to wrangle control over its cash-strapped budget. Hubert Lacroix, president of CBC/Radio-Canada, says anything could be up for sale if efforts to generate funds elsewhere fail.
The past months have seen the CBC slash jobs and programs in a bid to shave $171 million from its budget amid the economic downturn. Lacroix says 300 employees have accepted early retirement incentive plans, while 250 people have been laid off.
