CBC challenges release of CBC Gem subscriber numbers, citing business confidentiality.
CBC/Radio-Canada has filed a court challenge to block the release of subscriber numbers for its streaming service, CBC Gem, arguing the data is confidential and vital to its business operations and revenue-generating partnerships.
The move follows an Information Commissioner’s ruling that the numbers, while related to programming, are not protected under commercial confidentiality exemptions and should be disclosed.
CBC claims disclosure could harm its competitive position, particularly in negotiations for bundling deals, but the commissioner found no concrete evidence of harm.
The case, filed on October 20, 2025, highlights tensions between transparency and privacy for publicly funded media.
