CBC Radio is the English language radio division of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. CBC Radio has three branches:
From 1946 to 1962 CBC's English service operated two radio networks, the main Trans-Canada Network and the Dominion Network. In 1962 the Dominion Network was disbanded and the Trans-Canada Network became known as CBC Radio and, in 1997, CBC Radio One. In some cases CBC announcers will still say "CBC Radio" when they mean to refer only to Radio One.
In the French language, the CBC (or, as it is better known in French Canada, Société Radio-Canada), also has three radio divisions, each of which closely corresponds to one of the English networks:
In the Northwest Territories, the Yukon Territory, Nunavut, and northern Quebec, CBC North airs a modified Radio One schedule to accommodate programming in Native languages and Radio Nord Quebec, which airs a combined Radio One/La Première Chaîne schedule via shortwave mixed in with programming in native languages.
