CBC is Canada's national public radio and television broadcaster. It is the oldest broadcaster in Canada and is offered in over 10 languages for the immigrants that often come to Canada. People were worried that U.S. media was going to spread across the borders and into Canada and so CBC took over and started spreading news from coast to coast, first my F.M. radios and then by television. It is now the largest broadcaster in Canada. Spreading Canadian news to all the people spread around different areas of Canada.

CBC's logo has changed over time. In 1940 it went from a lightning bolt design to signify broadcasting to the early 2000's where it's merely a red and white symbol. Thumbnail image for logo 1.png

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has surmounted incredibly feats. It went from giving the most basic form of news over an F.M. radio to delivering it's country News, sports, entertainment, radio, television, hockey, world events, all over things like podcasts, the radio, television, and everything else. CBC is to canada much like ABC or NBC are to America. Our lifeline, our connection to the outside world.

The CBC has been given some nicknames over the years. It is sometimes referred to as "The Corpse" and there is an urban legend that goes around Canada where people say that once upon a time an announcer referred to the CBC as "the Canadian Broadcorping castration" which is now used jokingly in replace of "CBC". The CBC has a left view when broadcasting politics and therefore is sometimes referred to as the "Communist Broadcasting Corporation" by the conservative party. As you can see, even through the nicknames for their most famous broadcasting corporation, Canada has an exquisite sense of humor!

The most interesting thing about CBC is that they do actually put out podcasts, that after you quickly prescribe to you receive weekly! It's an amazing thing in which they surpass American news systems. Podcasting is not yet that popular in America.

Overall Canada's media coverage has grown widely over the course of a few decades and now spreads into other countries, including America.
