CANADA RADIO
Canadian radio serves two official languages and a vast geography. CBC/Radio-Canada is the national anchor, providing English and French programming coast to coast. Canada's CRTC content regulations ensure domestic artists get significant airtime, which has helped develop a strong national music scene from indie rock to francophone pop.

PERGUNTAS FREQUENTES
What are Canadian content regulations?
Canadian content (CanCon) rules require radio stations to devote a minimum percentage of airtime to Canadian artists (generally 35% for commercial music stations). This has been credited with supporting the careers of many Canadian musicians who might otherwise be overshadowed by US artists.
Is there French-language radio across Canada?
Yes — Radio-Canada (the French arm of the CBC) broadcasts nationally, and Quebec has a rich French-language radio ecosystem. French-language stations also serve francophone communities in New Brunswick, Ontario, and Manitoba.
What is CBC Radio known for?
CBC Radio 1 is known for journalism, cultural programming, and talk shows (The Current, As It Happens). CBC Music (Radio 2) covers Canadian music across genres. Both are listener-funded public services available online worldwide.
