ADVERTISING RETURNS CTV Beats CBC Out Of 12 Million in Year OTTAWA CPI The publicly owned CBC said today it lost up to 12000000 in advertising revenues in the year ended March 31 due to commercial competition from the new privately owned independent television stations and the CTV network The result was heavier CBC reliance on public funds It said that if the trend continues the CBC will cither have to get more money from Parliament or pre prepare � pare for a drop in the quality of programming standards or quantity of service or both Meanwhile CBC President J Alphonsc Quimct called in his For Additional CBC Stories See Page 3 annual report for another major study of Canadian broadcasting to remove doubts about the fu future � ture roles of the CBC and pri vate broadcasters The last such study was in 1956 by the Fowler royal commission He also contended there should be a new public policy under which the CBC rather than private applicants would set up any future second tele television � vision stations In cities which now hae only one outlet Mr Ouimet said this would mean that once the CBC built such stations existing privately owned stations in these cities would switch their network af affiliation � filiation from the corporation to the private CTV network Thus the viewers in these cities would get more CBC tele television � vision programs than the exist ing
