About
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, branded as CBC/Radio-Canada, is Canada's national public broadcaster for both radio and television. It operates as a Crown corporation owned by the Government of Canada, providing English-language services through CBC and French-language services through Radio-Canada. Founded in 1936, it offers news, entertainment, and cultural programming across multiple platforms, including digital and online services. CBC/Radio-Canada is mandated to inform, enlighten, and entertain the public while reflecting Canada's diversity. It is often criticized by right-wing outlets, such as Rebel News, for perceived liberal bias and has an adversarial relationship with such critics.
