Who’s got executives for days? The CBC apparently.
Recent Access to Information records show that the public broadcaster has no fewer than 143 executive directors including eight directors of finance, nine directors of legal services and 26 directors of “technology and infrastructure,” according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
What each of these people makes wasn’t revealed in the records but the former CBC CEO said his yearly bonus alone was $80,000.
The records show there were 46 directors for English-language services and 40 directors for French-language services and nine directors were under the umbrella of “people and culture,” and four were responsible for “corporate development.”
One director worked with CEO Catherine Tait, who makes $436,000 yearly plus expenses and bonuses.
Speaking to the Senate communications committee in 2014, Tait’s predecessor, Hubert Lacroix, put his annual bonus at about $80,000 a year.
When asked by Senator Vernon White (Ontario) about how much in bonuses would go to executives on an annual basis, Lacroix said about $8 million went to about 550 people “eligible for short term incentive plans.”
But the CBC paid a total $15.4 million in bonuses to 1,033 managers according to more recent records.
A parliamentary grant of $1.3 billion is the public broacaster’s main source of revenue.
