OTTAWA -- CBC has lost one the stars of a highly successful program, and according to the star, it has to do with the state broadcaster being too restrictive.
The popular entrepreneur show announced last week that W. Brett Wilson, a highly successful Calgary businessman, would not be coming back next season.
Part of the reason was the CBC's insistence that Wilson never use the words CBC or Dragon's Den during public appearances or for promoting his own work.
"The first contract they sent me prevented me from even uttering the words CBC or Dragons' Den," Wilson told QMI Agency. "They claimed it was because of their contract with Sony. Sony is the licensee of the format." Wilson and CBC were unable to come to terms.
During his time on Dragon's Den, Wilson brokered more business deals than any other Dragon in the 18 countries where versions of the program exist.
