	CBC Television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As of 2002, CBC Television and CBC Newsworld were the only broadcasters in Canada (and very likely the only broadcasters worldwide) required to provide closed captioning for 100% of their programming.
		CBC Television reportedly passed on an earlier opportunity to air Canadian Idol, which instead went to CTV, in part because a similar arrangement would have required the network to air American Idol as well.
		CBC television stations in Nunavut, the Northwest Territories and Yukon, branded as CBC North, tailor their programming mostly to the local native population, and broadcast in many native languages such as Inuktitut, Gwichʼin, and Dene.

	CBC Television Networks
		The CBC English Television Network, now numbering 46 stations (only 6 of which were CBC-owned) and accessible by 91% of Canadians, celebrated its status as the world's longest television network by broadcasting a July 1 program via microwave from links stretching between Victoria, British Columbia and Sydney, Nova Scotia.
		CBC was host broadcaster for Expo ’67, the World’s Fair called Man And His World, which ran for six months on a group of man-made islands on the St. Lawrence River in Montreal to mark the 100th Anniversary of Canada’s Confederation.
		CBC's networks began to be carried on the newly-established Anik-1 satellite, aiding in expanding the scope of CBC's reach, particularly to areas of the far north that formerly were dependent on receiving CBC's national prime-time programming via Frontier Coverage Packages.

		The CBC holds separate licences for each of these undertakings and conditions with respect to the licences of the network and 15 of the owned and operated television stations are set out in the Appendix to this decision.
		The Commission expects the CBC to maintain its existing levels of captioning and, consistent with its policy for commercial, English-language television, requires the CBC to ensure that at least 90% of the programming distributed nationally is closed captioned in each year of the licence term.

	CBC/Radio-Canada - OpEd: Robert Rabinovitch, President and CEO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		CBC Television attracts as large a share of conventional Canadian television viewing as it did five years ago.
		In the face of ever-increasing concentration of media ownership, only CBC Television provides a public space on the airwaves: a place where Canadians can come together to share important national events, issues and celebrations; a place where they are treated as citizens, not just as consumers.
		CBC English Television costs less than $300 million a year in public funds (not the half, three-quarters or one billion some ill-informed writers suggest).

	Canadian Television Programming in English
		However, the multi-talented first CBC head of programming Mavor Moore and his producer/directors (who were drawn from the National Film Board, the theatre, radio and off the street) were interested in experimenting with the forms of television.
		The result was that the CBC offers weekly a church service drawn from a variety of denominations and that individual stations program local church services or sell time to a few evangelists on late night or early-morning television.
		For the first twenty years of CBC TV drama, in the absence of any strong professional theatre, the general policy was that it should entertain, inform, and reflect national and regional concerns (intermittently and with significant gaps).

		The debate regarding violence on television is a case in point (see Hamilton, 1998, for a review of the extensive literature on the effects of television violence on viewers).
		CBC English Television is 81% Canadian on an all-day basis, and 91% during prime time.
		The refocused CBC would not have to rely (partially) on private affiliates for signal delivery; the affiliates, by their nature, are a force pressuring for commercial-type programs on CBC.

		The estimate of the common ground in the sampled English and French media was approximately 15 percent.

		She was also pleased that CBC Television will take additional steps to inform its advertising clients of the importance of captioning their commercials to reach this valued segment of the viewing audience.

	CANOE -- JAM! Television - TV Shows - CBC: 24Hours axed by half
		Manitoba-Saskatchewan regional director of television Jane Chalmers says short-term pain can lead to long-term gain since the new plan promises to position CBC as a distinct public TV service and open up opportunities for regional input in news, current affairs and arts programming.
		The plan, approved by the CBC board of directors on Sunday, calls for fewer commercials during news and current-events shows and increased production of children's shows, documentaries, sports and specials such as the day-long millennium coverage that aired New Year's Eve.
		CBC 24Hours ranks third behind CKY and Global in the latest supper-hour ratings, but Rabinovitch says audience size wasn't a major factor in the decision.

	Letter to the Minister of Canadian Heritage re the future of CBC English TV regional programming
		As you know, rumours about the future of CBC English TV regional programming have sparked intense concern among Canadians from all walks of life and from every part of the country.
		Today’s news stories appear to confirm what many have feared; the CBC is about to leave many cities and towns when the new President Robert Rabinovitch announces his plan for the CBC English TV service later this month.
		In the early 1990s, the CBC responded to cutbacks by deciding to serve residents of Calgary and Windsor from elsewhere, closing its TV operations in both cities.

	Our Public Airwaves - The challenge of TV drama (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		To begin ‘solving’ the English Canadian drama crisis, there are two parties who must act decisively and in concert in order to give Canadians the kind of programming they deserve.
		To begin to address the drama crisis, the CBC proposes to act as the anchor for a significant expansion and renewal of all aspects of drama, including comedy, mini-series, soap operas and high impact programs.
		And two, we want the Canadian Television Fund to guarantee that 50 per cent of its funding goes to independent Canadian producers whose programs are bought for prime time telecast by the CBC.

	NDP \| NDP declares victory in CBC design team layoff delay
		“CBC management has backed off because of the pressure that was brought to bear on the decision by the NDP and public groups that are committed to the future of Public Broadcasting,” said Angus.
		Angus has been pushing for the decision to be deferred until the completion of the CBC mandate review scheduled for this fall. Angus’ motion before the Heritage Committee on June 1st calling for the delay was passed despite the unanimous opposition of the Conservative membership.
		CBC/SRC management cited fiscal pressures as the primary reason for the layoffs; pressures which were exacerbated by years of the Liberal governments’ funding cuts that have eroded their ability to meet their regional programming mandate.

		It's also a challenge the CBC is uniquely able to address — and one we're determined to address, with vigor, imagination...and success.
		In this sense, English Canadians are the same as television viewers throughout the world — whether in France, Germany, Australia or the United States — if they are offered wonderful shows that speak to them, they will embrace them.
		If television news were one single newscast for half an hour at 11 p.m., fewer viewers would tune in — a case where supply drives demand.

	My Blahg » THEY WERE FOR THE CBC BEFORE THEY WERE AGAINST IT
		Bev Oda is questioning the funding for CBC television… let me repeat that… CBC television and whether it is meriting the cost from Canadian tax-payers.
		But CBC has other media that work far better than the television branch is… so perhaps if the redundancy factor were reduced it wouldn’t be such a bad thing.
		And since it is only the television division that Oda is calling for an assessment of, your claim that the Conservatives are not telling the truth is only an indication that you are not telling the truth.

	Letter to Hon. Stephen Harper Re: Conservative Party Policy Towards CBC
		Although we recall that similar comments have been made in the past by representatives of the Reform and Canadian Alliance parties, to our knowledge this is the first policy statement on public broadcasting by the Conservative Party of Canada.
		We draw to your attention that a very strong majority of current supporters of your Party, and almost all Canadians whose second choice is the Conservative Party, support funding for a strong CBC and believe that government should work to build a culture and identity distinct from the US.
		Drawing from the leadership of R. Bennett, who created the CBC, and Dalton Camp, one of the founders of the Friends, who described the CBC as one of the few national institutions that still works, we invite you to reflect on the implications of your comments and to clarify them without delay.
