History

The CBC's predecessor, the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission (CRBC), was established in 1932 by the government of R.B. Bennett after an intense lobbying campaign by Graham Spry and Alan Plaunt of the Canadian Radio League which had been set up in 1930 to campaign for the implementation of recommendations by the Aird Commission on public broadcasting. A major concern was the growing influence of American radio broadcasting as US based networks began to expand into Canada. 1932 (MCMXXXII) was a leap year starting on Friday (the link will take you to a full 1932 calendar). ...

The CRBC took over a network of radio stations formerly set up by the federal Crown corporation Canadian National Railways, which was used to broadcast programming to riders aboard its passenger trains, with coverage primarily in central and eastern Canada. On November 2, 1936, the CRBC became a full Crown corporation, and gained its present name.

For the next few decades, the CBC was responsible for all broadcasting innovation in Canada. It introduced FM radio to Canada in 1946. Television broadcasts from the CBC began on September 6, 1952, with the opening of a station in Montreal, Quebec (CBFT), and a station in Toronto, Ontario (CBLT) opening two days later. The CBC's first privately-owned affiliate television station, CKSO in Sudbury, Ontario, launched in October 1953. (At the time, all private stations were expected to affiliate with the CBC, a condition that relaxed in 1960-61.)

From 1944 to 1962 the CBC operated two English language AM radio services known as the Trans-Canada Network and the Dominion Network. The latter network, carrying lighter programs including American radio programs, was dissolved in 1962, and the former became known as CBC Radio. (In the late 1990s, CBC Radio was rebranded as Radio One, and CBC Stereo as Radio Two.) 1944 (MCMXLIV) was a leap year starting on Saturday (the link is to a full 1944 calendar). ... 1962 (MCMLXII) was a common year starting on Monday (the link is to a full 1962 calendar). ...

On July 1, 1958, CBC TV was linked from coast to coast. Colour television broadcasts began on July 1, 1966, with full colour service being achieved in 1974. In 1978, CBC became the first broadcaster in the world to use an orbiting satellite for television service, linking Canada "from east to west to north". Since the 1970s, the CBC has not dominated broadcasting in Canada like it formerly did, but still plays an important role. Today, the CBC operates several radio, terrestrial television and cable television networks, in both English and French, as well as a number of Aboriginal languages in the North.

The CBC’s cultural influence, like that of many public broadcasters, has waned in recent decades. This is partly due to severe budget cuts by the Canadian federal government, which began in the late 1980s and levelled off in the late 1990s. It is also due to industry-wide fragmentation of TV audiences (the decline of network TV generally, due to the rise in specialty channel viewership, as well as the increase of non-TV entertainment options such as videogames, the Internet, etc.). Private networks in Canada face the same competition, but their viewership has declined less than that of CBC TV. In English Canada, it is because Canadian private TV networks primarily rebroadcast American programming with Canadian advertising inserted in it. American shows are very popular among English Canadians, and often attract much higher audiences than made-in-Canada programming.

Viewership on the CBC's French TV network has also declined, mostly because of stiff competition from the private French-language networks and fragmentation, since French Canadians prefer home-grown television programming (there is a vibrant Quebec star system) and there is little American or foreign content on the French-language networks, public or private. On the other hand, the CBC's French-language radio network is sometimes first in the ratings. French Canadian is a term that has several different connotations. ...

In the case of breaking news, including federal elections, the CBC may still hold a slight edge. For instance, after election night 2006, CBC Television took out full-page newspaper ads claiming that 2.2 million Canadians watched their coverage, more than any other broadcaster. However, in similar ads, CTV also claimed to be number one, stating there was a CBC audience of only 1.2 million. In both cases, the methodologies were not clear from the ads, such as whether simulcasts on one or both of the networks' news channels were counted.

The 2006 Canadian federal election (more formally, the 39th General Election) was held on January 23, 2006, to elect members of the Canadian House of Commons. ...

Corporate structure and funding

It should be noted that CBC and Radio-Canada are often, mistakenly, considered two separate entities when they are in fact, from a legal standpoint, a single entity established by the Broadcasting Act. Contributing to this confusion are the English and French corporate names, which are not direct translations of each another. Moreover, it is clear to the casual observer that the English and French operations are very different from each other in matters such as management, branding, programming, and bases of operations, owing to the cultural differences between English and French Canada. For instance, "English" CBC anchors might attribute a news scoop to "Radio-Canada" as if it was a separate entity, and the corporation normally passes on the English broadcast rights to American network series such as Lost but may then buy the rights to the dubbed French version, i.e. Perdus. Nonetheless, many personalities, particularly in foreign news bureaux, appear on both English- and French-language networks. English Canada is a term used to describe either: the English-speaking residents of Canada or the Canadian provinces which are majority anglophone, i. ... This is a disambiguation page — a navigational aid which lists other pages that might otherwise share the same title. ... Lost is an American drama-mystery-adventure television series that follows the lives of the survivors of a plane crash on a mysterious tropical island. ...

While there have been attempts at corporate branding, including using "SRC" as the main French-language brand instead of "Radio-Canada", most such efforts have failed. Moreover, the CBC has never attempted to impose the "CBC" brand on French Canada in the way the "BBC" brand has come to be used on Welsh, Gaelic, and other non-English broadcasts. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is the largest publicly-funded radio and television broadcasting corporation of the United Kingdom (see British television) and the world. ...

Unlike the public broadcasters of many European nations, the CBC's television networks and websites sell advertising and do not collect a licence fee. However, the CBC does receive just under a billion dollars annually in federal funding, which is the source of heated debates. The CBC's radio networks do not air any commercial advertising. A television licence (or more correctly broadcast receiver licence, as it usually also pays for public radio) is an official licence required in many countries for all owners of television and radio receivers. ...

Programming

Television

The CBC operates two national broadcast television networks — CBC Television in English, and la Télévision de Radio-Canada in French. Both sell advertising, and are otherwise similar to the privately-owned networks, but offer more Canadian-produced programming than the other major networks. Most CBC television stations, including those in the major cities, are owned and operated by the CBC itself and carry the same schedule aside from local programming. CBC Television is the primary English language television service of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. ... Télévision de Radio-Canada, often simply Radio-Canada, is the main French language television service of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. ...

Some stations that broadcast from smaller cities are private affiliates of the CBC, that is, stations which are owned by commercial broadcasters and air a predominantly CBC schedule. However, most affiliates of the English network opt out of some network programs to air local programming or more popular foreign programs acquired from other broadcasters.

Ratings for CBC Television have declined in recent years, perhaps due to an increased focus on Canadian content, programming that rarely does well in English Canada against sleeker American productions. In Quebec, where the majority speaks French, la Télévision de Radio-Canada is popular and gets some of the highest ratings in the province. The language barrier, in addition to other cultural differences, keeps viewers from tuning to American channels in as large a number as English-speaking Canada.

Internet

The CBC has two main websites. One is in English, at www.cbc.ca, and the other is in French, at www.radio-canada.ca (or www.src.ca). In 1993, CBC launched an experimental web service, followed by a small site supporting CBC Radio, and a site supporting the CBC Halifax TV program Street Cents. CBC consolidated its English radio and TV sites into a single site in 1995. In 1996, it began offering 24-hour live streaming of its radio services using RealAudio. In 1997, CBC launched a site for kids, and covered its first federal election online. In 1998, it launched an online news service. Street Cents is a TV show for adolescents that airs on CBC Television, produced in Halifax, Nova Scotia. ...

In 2000, the CBC launched a wireless service, and CBC Radio 3, an Internet-exclusive broadband magazine, which provided streaming audio devoted to youth culture and independent music. Radio 3 is operated by CBC Radio. As of 2005, production of the magazine was suspended, although the site continues in podcast format and some of its content still airs as a Saturday evening program on Radio Two. Bandeapart is the French equivalent, and also airs content as a weekend program on Espace Musique. Both services launched as full channels on Sirius Canada in December 2005, and are also available to US Sirius subscribers.

Over 8,000 clips and interviews from news and information programs provide an in-depth look at Canada's past. This article or section is missing references or citation of sources. ...

Today, CBC.ca is the largest news and information site dedicated to the Canadian viewpoint. It includes over 350,000 pages of news, analysis, commentary and in-depth background information on issues affecting Canadians, plus on-demand streaming media, mobile and e-mail news delivery, detailed CBC on-air program information, digital archives, and more.

In 2003, it won an Online News Association award in the “service journalism” category for its coverage of the SARS epidemic. In 2004, CBC.ca was the only organization to win two awards from the Online News Association: one in the "specialty journalism" category for Canada Votes, its coverage of the 2004 Canadian federal election, and one in the “service journalism” category for ADR Database, a tri-medial project from the CBC News investigative unit. CBC.ca was also a finalist in the “online commentary” category for Blair Shewchuk’s “Words: Woes and Wonder,” a series of columns about the English language.

Podcasting

In 2005, CBC began podcasting some of its programs in a pilot, including CBC Radio One's national science and technology program, Quirks and Quarks, CBC Radio 3's Canadian Music Podcast as well as limited podcasting of CBLA's popular Metro Morning Toronto show. It's been a move that's been praised as unusually ambitious for a public broadcaster.

From 1994 to 2000, the CBC, in a joint venture with Power Broadcasting (former owner of CKWS-TV in Kingston, Ontario), also owned Newsworld International (or NWI), an American cable channel which rebroadcast much of the programming of CBC Newsworld, and Trio, an arts and entertainment channel. 1994 (MCMXCIV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International year of the Family. ...

Public versus private ownership

Controversies within the broadcast industry will often ensue when the CBC launches new services in areas that private broadcasters are already in, or wish to be in. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), which decides which new broadcast licenses will be granted, is, like the CBC, a government controlled body. The head of the CBC and the commissioners of the CRTC are all selected by the Prime Minister. This causes private broadcasters to suspect favouritism for the CBC. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC, in French Conseil de la radiodiffusion et des télécommunications canadiennes) was established in 1968 by the Canadian Parliament to replace the Board of Broadcast Governors. ...

For instance, the CBC was given the first license for an all-news specialty service, namely CBC Newsworld. As with other specialty services, that decision automatically precluded any other new service, with a similar format of news and analysis, from launching. When the privately owned headline news service CTV Newsnet launched in 1997, it was restricted by condition of licence to using a constant 15-minute news cycle. Critics of the CBC contend CRTC favouritism is shown by the fact that CBC Newsworld has not faced equal threats of sanctions over its airing of programs outside the "all-news" format, such as the BBC version of Antiques Roadshow, although such a program does technically fall within its permitted range. The CBC, was, however, forced to remove repeats of This Hour Has 22 Minutes and Royal Canadian Air Farce from the Newsworld schedule in 1997. A specialty service or specialty channel is a television service, generally not available through conventional broadcast television, which consists of programming focused on a single type or targeted at a specific demographic. ... CBC Newsworld is a Canadian 24-hour cable news television channel operated by the CBC. It broadcasts into over 10 million homes nation-wide, as well as into some northern states in the U.S. It is the worlds third-oldest television service of this nature, after CNN in...

Royal Canadian Air Farce is a Canadian radio and television show, broadcast on CBC Television. ... 1997 (MCMXCVII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

The CBC had directly intervened in every application by CTV to change the restrictions on Newsnet up to the final decision by the CRTC, which largely removed the restrictions in 2005. However, the CBC is not unique in this, as it is common for broadcasters to intervene against one another in licensing decisions. The Canadian market is relatively small and some broadcasters feel it cannot support the free market approach of the US. They argue it is better to favour a specific broadcaster in certain areas, so at least one Canadian channel will be able to prosper. Template:Diffgggtgerent calendars 2005 (MMV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Other allegations of favouritism have centred around, for instance, the awarding of prized radio frequencies (i.e. for CBLA-FM in Toronto). By the same token, though, not all of the CBC's applications are automatically approved; at one point the CBC asked for use of a similarly prized Montreal frequency in order to begin a third French radio network, but was denied in favour of a private broadcaster. Moreover, most if not all groups who receive a favourable decision by the CRTC have been accused at some point of having secured favouritism from the commission. CBLA is a Canadian radio station. ...

Issue of bias

Critics, often led by private media, sometimes accuse the network of cultural elitism, liberal bias, or bias in favour of the governing party. The CBC is also sometimes thought to have an unfair economic advantage in the Canadian television marketplace, because it competes with private broadcasters for advertising dollars, while simultaneously receiving the subsidy of a government grant. Liberal bias is a common phrase used in American political discourse to express the view that the American media generally has a liberal bias. ...

Many believe the CBC acts as a necessary counterbalance to what they perceive to be the big business right-wing bias of private networks, or that it preserves Canadian culture against the homogenizing influence of rebroadcast American programming. Canadians continue to poll in favour of maintaining funding to the CBC. As it was initially conceived, the CBC ensures that Canadian stations act as more than just affiliates broadcasting foreign content. The Canadian government attempts to balance funding inequities between private and public networks by providing large subsidies for private production of Canadian content.

Nicknames

As the oldest currently-operating Canadian broadcaster, and still the largest in terms of national availability of its various networks, the nickname Mother Corp and variants thereof are sometimes used in reference to the CBC (e.g. [1]).

There is an urban legend that a CBC announcer once referred to the network on the air as the Canadian Broadcorping Castration, which also sometimes remains in use as a satirical nickname. Quotations of the supposed blooper are wildly variable in detail on what was said, when it was said or even who the announcer was, and there is no evidence to confirm its existence. Urban legends are a kind of folklore consisting of stories often thought to be factual by those circulating them (see rumor). ...

The CBC was also jokingly called BBC Canada during the 2005 lockout due to the large amount of British content then aired in place of the regular schedule. BBC Canada is a general entertainment Canadian category 2 digital cable television channel. ...

Labour problems

On 15 August 2005, 5,500 employees of the CBC (about 90%) were locked out by CBC management in a dispute over future hiring practices. The locked-out employees were members of the Canadian Media Guild, representing all production, journalistic and on-air personnel outside Quebec and Moncton, including several foreign correspondents. While CBC services continued during the lockout, they were comprised primarily of repeats, with a small amount of news programming being created, mainly by CBC managers. Major CBC programs such as The National and Royal Canadian Air Farce were not produced during the lockout. Meanwhile, the locked-out employees produced podcasts and websites such as CBCunplugged.com, which many credited with swaying public opinion to the union's side. After a hiatus, talks re-opened. On September 23, the federal minister of labour called Robert Rabinovitch, the president and CEO of the CBC, and Arnold Amber, the president of the CBC branch of the Canadian Media Guild, to his office for talks aimed at ending the dispute.

Late in the evening of October 2, 2005, it was announced that the CBC management and staff had reached a tentative deal which resulted in the CBC returning to normal operations on October 11. Some speculated that the looming October 8 start date for the network's most important television property, Hockey Night in Canada, had acted as an additional incentive to resolve the dispute.

The CBC has been struck by a number of other labour disputes since the late 1990s: The 1990s decade refers to the years from 1990 to 1999, inclusive. ...

• In early 1999, CBC technicians in all locations outside Quebec and Moncton, New Brunswick (for both English and French networks), members of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada, went on strike. Just before the Canadian Media Guild, which represented on-air, production and administrative personnel in those territories, was set to strike as well, the CBC settled with both unions.

• A similar dispute, again involving all technicians outside Quebec and Moncton, occurred in late 2001 and concluded by the end of the year.

• In spring 2002, on-air staff in Quebec and Moncton (again, on both English and French networks) were locked-out by local management, leaving, among other things, NHL playoff games without commentary on French television.

While all labour disputes resulted in cut-back programming and numerous repeat airings, the 2005 lockout may have been the most damaging to CBC. All local programming in the affected regions was cancelled, and replaced by abbreviated national newscasts and national radio morning shows. BBC World (television) and World Service (radio) and Broadcast News feeds were used to provide the remainder of original news content, and the CBC website was comprised mainly of rewritten wire copy. Some BBC staff protested against their material being used during the CBC lockout. "The NUJ and BECTU will not tolerate their members’ work being used against colleagues in Canada," said a joint statement by BBC unions. The CMG questioned whether, with its limited Canadian news content, the CBC was meeting its legal requirements under the Broadcasting Act and its CRTC licences. 1999 (MCMXCIX) was a common year starting on Friday, and was designated the International Year of Older Persons by the United Nations. ...

As before, French language staff outside of Quebec were also affected by the 2005 lockout, although with Quebec producing the bulk of the French networks' programming, those networks were not as visibly affected by the dispute apart from local programs.
