"The End of the CBC? is a book that should be read by anyone who cares about how journalism and democracy intersect."

"In many ways, this timely and thought-provoking book is more about saving Canadian journalism than about saving the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation."

"The End of the CBC? argues that Canada’s public broadcaster must rapidly and quite savagely reinvent itself or risk ‘oblivion.’ And it is nothing if not timely reading."

"Taras and Waddell have written a significant book that I hope will be read by people in positions to make decisions.　As The End of the CBC? makes abundantly clear, the time is ripe for a reassessment and renewal of Canadian public broadcasting. Taras and Waddell assess the options for the CBC in a media world that is increasingly dominated by foreign-based streaming giants. It is refreshing to read a book that is not only critical but offers concrete steps on how to bolster areas of strength to address current shortcomings. The End of the CBC? is a bold and insightful contribution to the study of contemporary mass communications in Canada."

"With public broadcasting in crisis, David Taras and Christopher Waddell ask a question others dare only whisper, "Is this the end of the CBC?" The result is a timely and provocative intervention which, while written from a perspective that values CBC’s vital role in Canadian society, is conscious of the sea change in the country’s mediascape and is not afraid to cast a critical eye on the Corporation’s past fumbles and missteps. The End of the CBC? is a must-read for academics, policy-makers, journalists and members of the public concerned with how best to secure CBC’s future in our fractious and fragmented media environment."

"The CBC is one of the pillars of Canada’s public square, helping support our culture and political discourse. But, in their masterfully researched book, David Taras and Chris Waddell have exposed the forces inside and outside the corporation that are threatening to pull that pillar down and, with it, one of the few means we have to create a Canadian community. It’s essential reading for anyone who cares about the future of the CBC and our country as a whole."
