CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) is Canada’s national public broadcaster, established in 1936. It operates under the Broadcasting Act and is accountable to the Parliament of Canada. CBC's mission is to provide diverse programming that reflects Canadian culture and values, serving as a Canadian alternative to American media.

CBC operates two main television networks: CBC Television in English and Ici Radio-Canada Télé in French. It also runs four radio networks, offering a variety of programs, including news, classical music, and cultural content. Additionally, CBC provides all-news television networks, Northern services in multiple languages, and a digital pay audio service with continuous music channels. Its international broadcasting includes a shortwave radio service in seven languages.

The organization is funded primarily by public funds from the Canadian government, along with advertising revenue. CBC's programming reaches a wide audience across Canada, catering to English and French speakers, Indigenous communities, and those interested in national and international news and culture.
