Dissolution seems rather unlikely, but then again fixing the CRTC
without rebuilding it (and firing  a lot of the corrupt
upper-echelons) seems fairly impossible as well. If anything did
happen it would most likely involve a golden-parachute-of-severance
for said upper-management only to have them replaced by something not
much better.
