Private conventional television
Revenues for private conventional television grew by 9% from $1.97 billion in 2009 to approximately $2.15 billion in 2010. Expenses during the same period increased by 1.7% from $2.01 billion in 2009 to $2.05 billion in 2010. As a result, profits before interest and taxes (PBIT) improved significantly from a deficit of $116.6 million in 2009 to a profit of $11.5 million in 2010 for a PBIT margin of 0.5%.

Pay and specialty services
Revenues for pay and specialty services grew by 11.1 % from $3.11 billion in 2009 to approximately $3.46 billion in 2010. Expenses during the same period were 8.1% higher, going from $2.31 billion to $2.49 billion. Therefore, PBIT for pay and specialty services improved from $728.6 million in 2009 to $877.3 million in 2010 for a PBIT margin of 25.4%.

The private networks always cry when their profits are dropping and then start canceling local programming, but now with profits coming back, where's the new local programming? Some of us are waiting to get a local morning show back so we don't have to watch shows from Toronto.

So how high do the profits have to be before we can abolish simsubbing?

I would like to know how the networks divide there news operation cost between say CTV and CTV News network channel.CTV 3 hours per day vs 24 hours news.So CTV 3/27 of cost and CTV news 24/27 of the cost seems fair.Someway I bet CTV puts most of the cost onto CTV channels operationand not there cable news channel.Its easy to make one operation look less profitable than another

Profit grows but it on the back of bigger bills and packaging that force you to buy a truckload of crap to get anything worth watching! Not to mention almost no competition between the major BDU's.
