	Encyclopedia: Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
		The CBC is the oldest currently-operating broadcasting service in the country, first established in its present form on November 2, 1936.
		The CBC's predecessor, the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission, 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.
		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.

	Twinstick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A twinstick, in Canadian broadcasting, is a term for two television stations, broadcasting in the same market, which are owned by the same company.
		The term derives from the use of "stick", in broadcasting industry jargon, as a term for a broadcast transmitter tower.
		From 1997 to 2002, CTV directly owned several CBC twinstick stations it had inherited from Baton Broadcasting in 1997 (CKNC, CHNB, CJIC and CFCL in Northern Ontario, which were part of the MCTV system, and CKBI and CKOS in Saskatchewan), but these were sold to the CBC in 2002.
