Obviously a concern, but this substack leaves out details:

Bouchard’s memo said the savings will be separate from the federal government’s commitment during the spring election campaign to invest an additional $150 million in CBC/Radio-Canada.

and

“However, it is important to remember that at this point we have been asked to develop proposals only. All of the proposals will be assessed by the government and final decisions reflected in the Main Estimates for 2026-2027

This proposal isn't to cut CBC's overall budget yet. On it's face, they are looking for individual initiatives to save money, while promising to increase overall spending. That would be a perfectly fine objective to improve effectiveness and efficiency. Just watch for those annual budgets.
