Since when did the CBC Website (CBC.ca) ever have advertising?
It never had adverts in the past, but now it has adverts.

I guess they are just one of the last to catch up with how the world
makes money on the net.

That's actually not true. Several years ago, CBC's website foreswore
advertising on the main news pages (as had always been the case for the
children's programming site, kids.cbc.ca) feeling that the co-opting of
readers' attention was not in keeping with their mission - advertising was
relegated to areas of the site where advertising was very much part of the
equation (Sports, financial, etc.). But prior to that decision, cbc.ca had
as much advertising, in as many places, as it does now.

Frankly, without financial support from Ottawa, I'm surprised they gave up
the revenue before.
