About Us

CBC/Radio-Canada is Canada's national public broadcaster and one of this country's largest cultural institutions. Through the delivery of a comprehensive range of radio, television, Internet, and satellite-based services, CBC-Radio/Canada is available how, where, and when Canadians want it.

We bring diverse regional and cultural perspectives into the daily lives of Canadians in English, French and eight aboriginal languages, in seven languages on our international Radio service, RCI, and in seven languages through our web-based radio service RCI viva, a service for recent and aspiring immigrants to Canada.

Our media sites, CBC.ca and Radio-Canada.ca describe upcoming programs, provide a multitude of video and audio files, plus local, national and international news and weather; and invite you to join a national conversation.

CBC/Radio-Canada's mandate is set out in the 1991 Broadcasting Act. CBC/Radio-Canada is accountable to all Canadians, reporting annually to Parliament through the Minister of Canadian Heritage.

In accordance with the Broadcasting Act, the Board of Directors is responsible for the management of the Corporation. The Board is made up of 12 members, including the Chair and the President and CEO, who are appointed by the Government.
