92-1001: A full set of channels that adheres to the same Canadian content rules as traditional radio stations. Instead, under the terms of its CRTC licence, SiriusXM Canada must offer a minimum of 10% Canadian-produced channels (i.e., at least one Canadian channel for every nine channels originating from the U.S. or elsewhere) in each of its packages, of which at least one must be an Indigenous channel, and several must be French-language channels. On these channels, at least 85% of musical selections and 85% of spoken-word content must be Canadian content. The service must also make significant ongoing financial contributions to Canadian content development. From time to time, these rules have resulted in certain American channels being unavailable on satellite radio to SiriusXM Canada subscribers. These channel restrictions do not apply to SiriusXM's streaming platforms, and (subject to program rights conflicts) all are available through

CBCV's signal on 90.5 MHz from Victoria only reaches as far north as Ladysmith , and its signal on 92.5 MHz from Powell River as received in the Nanaimo area interferes with KQMV from Seattle . Consequently, the only CBC Radio One signals that can be reliably received in the Nanaimo area are from CBU Vancouver, which air weekday morning and afternoon local programs from Vancouver instead of Victoria. The CBC applied to

322-428: Is CKZN, relaying CFGB-FM from Happy Valley-Goose Bay , Newfoundland and Labrador with a 1 kW ERP signal on a fixed frequency of 6.16 MHz.

598-573: The CBC Radio Overnight programming block. The Radio One feed on Sirius XM Satellite Radio largely follows the Eastern Time schedule, and has no local programming, with repeats of other shows in time slots that would normally be occupied by local programming. As a consequence of using a single feed, most national programming outside the Eastern Time Zone is heard earlier or later than

644-731: The Dominion Network dissolved in 1962. Most affiliates disaffiliated as the CBC built new owned and operated stations, expanded coverage by other stations, or built transmitters to rebroadcast existing CBC Radio stations.

(commonly referred to as Sirius XM Canada ; normally stylized SiriusXM )

690-530: The National Hockey League — a particularly lucrative prize in Canadian sports broadcasting — warranted a larger share of value in the new company than its subscriber base would suggest.

736-477: The Toronto Stock Exchange , announced a privatization ("go-private") and recapitalization transaction whereby three of the broadcaster's largest shareholders – Slaight Communications, John Bitove's Obelysk Media, and Sirius XM U.S. – would buy out the remaining public shareholders.

782-438: The 2008 merger of Sirius and XM in the U.S., the two Canadian companies did not immediately announce plans to merge, and continued to compete in the Canadian marketplace.

828-449: The CBC began running distinct programming on its three existing FM English-language stations, which had been providing simulcasts of programming on its AM stations. The stations, located in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, broadcast a monoaural FM signal. Programming consisted mostly of classical music. The stations were linked by CN/CP Telecommunications via land-line and microwave. This service

874-608: The CBC operated two English-language radio services: the original network became the Trans-Canada Network , and a second network, the Dominion Network , was established with CJBC in Toronto as its flagship. With the exception of CJBC, all 35 stations on the CBC Dominion Network were privately owned affiliates. Its programming tended to be lighter than that of the Trans-Canada Network, carrying more American programming in its schedule. The Dominion Network operated only in

920-408: The CRTC approved the transfer of shares owned by Slaight Communications—owned by Allan Slaight , who died in 2021—directly to Allan's son Gary Slaight .

966-668: The CRTC to add a rebroadcaster of CBCV at Nanaimo in 2007, contemporaneous with an application to convert the Vancouver station to FM. As few FM frequencies remain available in the Vancouver-Victoria market, however, the applications were denied. CBU was permitted to add a nested low-power rebroadcaster in the urban core of Vancouver, but was required to maintain the AM signal to serve outlying areas, including Nanaimo. HD Radio receivers in Nanaimo can however receive Victoria's local programming over

1104-738: The FM "Radio" stations broadcast in mono only. As a result, on September 1, 1997, CBC Radio became CBC Radio One and CBC Stereo became CBC Radio 2 (it is now CBC Music). Although some Radio One stations still broadcast on AM as of 2018, because of issues with urban reception of AM radio signals many of the remaining AM stations have added FM rebroadcasters in major urban centres within their broadcast area. From 2004 until early 2007, CBC Radio One promotional spots were announced by Canadian actress Shauna MacDonald , also known as "Promo Girl". Toronto-born Jeremy Harris took over from MacDonald.

Due to Canadian broadcasting ownership regulations, the U.S. company Sirius XM Holdings

1426-428: The authority of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). This distinction is due to technical differences between the two platforms which may result in minor programming variations between the two services, despite the fact that most programming has been harmonized since the U.S. and Canadian mergers. As it uses the same infrastructure as SiriusXM U.S., the Canadian service cannot program

1472-484: The early 1990s, the CBC began offering selected programs on the Internet . In September 1996, the network formally launched live audio streaming of both CBC Radio and CBC Stereo. Since the 1980s, many of the CBC's AM stations moved to FM in response to complaints of poor AM reception. This meant that the old distinction between the AM "Radio" network and the FM "Stereo" network was no longer accurate, even though many of

1518-485: The evenings, freeing affiliates to air local programming during the day. Until 1958, the CBC was both a broadcaster, and the principal broadcast regulator in Canada. It used this dual role to take most of Canada's clear-channel frequencies on the AM band.

Both Bitove and Mark Redmond,

1748-517: The parent services increasingly integrated and amalgamated their programming. In an interview with The Globe and Mail before the merger was approved, Bitove also noted the difficulties that arose from the merged American service becoming a minority shareholder in both of the Canadian companies simultaneously, such as conflicts of interest that forced the American company to leave its Canadian partners out of strategic planning discussions which would have given each company power over decisions affecting

1794-422: The podcasts may also sometimes air terrestrially on CBC Radio One as substitute programs, or rerun material for regular programs such as The Current , such as during the summer season or when a regularly scheduled program is preempted due to a statutory holiday .
