Or the lure of an instant cure.

I don't see why Eurovision requires taxpayer money. If it is so good, it should be paid for by advertizing.

How much does NBC sell a season of America's Got Talent(and bad grammar) to CTV for?

Its not disclosed but looks like this.

NBC does not charge the America's Got Talent show to air outside the US. Instead, the international broadcast of the show is managed through a system of licensing agreements.

Here is how the system works:
Fremantle Media Enterprises (the production company, alongside Simon Cowell's Syco TV) sells the broadcast rights for the finished U.S. program to individual broadcasters in different countries.

These broadcasters, such as CTV in Canada, ITV2 in the U.K., or the Seven Network in Australia, pay a fee to Fremantle to air the show in their respective regions.
NBC receives revenue from these international sales through its production agreements. More than 40 percent of a hot television show's revenue can come from foreign broadcast licenses.

The specific amount each international broadcaster pays is determined through private negotiations and is not publicly disclosed. The fees vary widely based on the country's market size, the broadcaster's reach, and the specific terms of the deal.

In short, the show is licensed as a finished product to other countries, generating significant international revenue for its producers and NBCUniversal.

Here's an idea. . . a "talent" show featuring contestants who suck, and are oblivious to their lack of talent. "America's Got No Talent." Might be good for a mean-spirited laugh.

Yes, and CTV regains that expense and more by selling advertising time on the show when they air it on CTV. They don't get that money from Joe Taxpayer.

They still have to lay out the capital before a gross return through ad sales and yes just like CBC that capital risk falls on the stakeholders (same as a taxpayer in this case) in Bell Media who can attend a shareholders meeting to voice their view on AGT as a viable investment. It impacts stakeholders dividends if AGT floats or sinks.

Call your MP to voice your concerns as a stakeholder in CBC or for a breakdown of expected ROI CBC anticipates.
