CBC Radio 3: Breaking New Sound

It is now almost impossible for you not to be listening to Radio3 at all times. That was not meant to sound ominous and weird. we say it just to remark on the fact that with our two radio stations - one on Sirius, and the other on the web - you can now listen at home, work, or in your car.

And really if you count taking the podcasts everywhere you go, you see what we mean. Everywhere. But not in a creepy way.

Web Radio

We're not bragging or nothing, but we were nominated for a Webby in 2007 for best online radio. No big deal. What left us sobbing into our pillows for many a night, however, was the fact that we didn't win. So we wiped our tears, fired the computer running the service, and turned it into living and breathing radio station.

This means you can tune in 24/7 to enjoy the very best in new Canadian music from anywhere in the world with a halfway decent connection to the web.

Our crack team of music programmers have hand-picked each track with love so that they can be fed to you like tiny delicious berries by hosts Craig Norris, Lisa Christiansen, Grant Lawrence, Tariq Hussain, Lauren Burrows, Amanda Putz, and the latest addition to the family, Buck 65.

Tune in using our custom online player (and start making your own playlist), or tap into the MP3 stream with the major media player of your choice.

SIRIUS CHANNEL 94

CBC Radio 3 is also available 24/7 on Sirius channel 94. Generally speaking, the world is a biggish place with lousy access to the internet, so satellite is your best bet for listening to the very best in Canadian rock, pop, hip-hop, electronica and alt-country.

Hosts Grant Lawrence, Craig Norris, Lisa Christiansen, Lauren Burrows, Amanda Putz, and Buck 65 are your guides by day, and overnights are a hostless music mix of the best from CBC Radio 3's music library.
