CBC Radio One
Encyclopedia
CBC Radio One is the English language
news and information radio network
of the publicly-owned Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
. It is commercial
free and offers both local and national programming. It is available on either AM or FM to 98 per cent of Canadians
, and is also available overseas through Radio Canada International
, over the Internet
, or through mobile apps.
A modified version of CBC Radio One, with local content replaced by additional airings of national programming, is also available on Sirius Satellite Radio
channel 159. It is downlinked to subscribers via both Sirius Canada
and its U.S.-based counterpart, Sirius Satellite Radio
.
Current listening figures for CBC Radio One stand at 4.3 million listeners each week. It is the largest radio network in Canada.
CBC Radio began in 1936, and is the oldest branch of the Corporation. In 1949, the facilities and staff of the Broadcasting Corporation of Newfoundland
were transferred to CBC upon Newfoundland
's entry into Canadian Confederation
.
Beginning in 1944, the CBC operated two English language radio services: the original network became the Trans-Canada Network
, and a second network, the Dominion Network
, was established with CJBC
in Toronto as its flagship. With the exception of CJBC, all 35 stations on the CBC Dominion Network were privately owned affiliates. Its programming tended to be lighter than that of the Trans-Canada Network, carrying more American programming in its schedule. As well, the Dominion Network operated only in the evenings, freeing affiliates to air local programming during the day.
In 1962, the Dominion Network was dissolved and within a few years CJBC became a French-language station broadcasting the programming of Radio-Canada.
In 1960, the CBC began running distinct programming on its three existing FM English language stations, which were previously providing simulcasts of programming on its AM stations. The stations, located in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, broadcast a monoaural FM signal. Programming consisted mostly of classical music. The stations were linked by CN/CP Telecommunications via land-line and microwave. This service was discontinued in 1962, but resumed in 1964 in stereo. Eventually, a national satellite-distributed network of stereo FM stations was established. In 1975, the FM network was branded CBC Stereo, and the AM service was designated CBC Radio.
CBC Radio stopped running commercial advertising in 1974. Until 1995, the network signed off the air between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. daily — in that year, it launched an overnight program, CBC Radio Overnight
, which airs international news and documentary programs.

Until 1958, the CBC was not only a broadcaster, but the principal broadcast regulator in Canada. It used this dual role to snap up most of Canada's clear-channel frequencies on the AM dial. However, in the 1990s, many of the CBC's AM stations moved to FM in response to complaints of poor AM reception. This meant that the old distinction between the AM "Radio" network and the FM "Stereo" network was no longer accurate, even though many of the FM "Radio" stations broadcast in mono only. As a result, in 1997 CBC Radio became CBC Radio One and CBC Stereo became CBC Radio 2. Although several Radio One stations still broadcast on AM as of 2008, most also have FM rebroadcasters in major urban centres within their broadcast area.
, also known as "Promo Girl". Until fall 2005, promos ended with one of two slogans: either "Because sometimes a picture needs a thousand words" or "Hear the big picture". The current slogan is "Canada Lives Here."
Some CBC Radio One programs, such as As It Happens
, air in the United States
on some stations associated with Public Radio International
. Definitely Not the Opera
, Quirks & Quarks, The Vinyl Cafe
and Q
are heard on some public stations in the northern United States. Some CBC-SRC programs are relayed on Radio Canada International for listeners abroad and others, such as the 2010 summer program Promised Land
, have aired on Sirius Satellite Radio

), while other stations' local programming simply consists of local news updates.
The Radio One feed on Sirius Satellite Radio
has no local programming, and repeats other shows in time slots that would normally be occupied by local programming. It carries the first feed of The World at Six
at 6 p.m. Atlantic Time (5 p.m. Eastern Time
), and also carries The World at Six in its last airing at 6 p.m. Pacific Time
.
On statutory holiday
s, local programming is replaced by special provincial programming. In the summer months of July and August, some programming is temporarily shortened and/or replaced by special summer series. During the CBC's recent labour dispute, most of the schedule was temporarily replaced by a mix of repeat airings of recent CBC programs, BBC World
news programming and music from the CBC service Galaxie.
Stations in the Canadian territories air a significantly different schedule with expanded local programming that includes a number of programs in local Aboriginal
languages. They still air most, but not all, of the core CBC Radio One schedule, although some programs may air in abbreviated versions. See CBC North
for further information.
On January 17, 2007, the CBC announced some changes to the network's schedule to begin in April. Among them, Freestyle
and The Arts Tonight
were merged into Q
, an arts magazine show hosted by Jian Ghomeshi
, Global Village
was discontinued and some of its features were merged into Dispatches
, and Between the Covers moved exclusively online as a podcast
.
Reasons given for the schedule changes are said to be based on audience research, however some negative reaction has been seen.
It was announced in March 2009 that The Inside Track
, Outfront
, The Point
and In the Key of Charles
would be cancelled, and that the noontime local shows would be reduced to one hour.
More recently, the network has also begun airing some programming syndicated from National Public Radio and Public Radio International
in the United States
, including This American Life
and the news series The World
and The State We're In
.
Two CBC Radio One stations operate shortwave relay transmitters:
signals on a fixed frequency of 6160 kHz. Some DXers
have been able to log both transmitters simultaneously, but this is a rare occurrence due to the distance between the transmitters.
