Some of the private affiliates later began adding CBC's overnight programming to their schedules since the network began broadcasting 24 hours a day in October 2006.

Peter Mansbridge , as chief correspondent for CBC News , was the regular weeknight anchor, normally hosting from Monday to Thursday, but may host other nights if a significant news event has occurred.

On the future of the program following his departure, CBC News editor-in-chief Jennifer McGuire told

Though journalists were now reading the news, union regulations required a journalist acting as news anchor to leave the journalists' union and join the announcers' union and thus prohibited the anchor from doing anything other than reading a script written by others. Burke anchored the show from 1966 until 1969 when he resigned in order to launch
1000-541: A logo was introduced that used the typeface Microgramma , centred on two lines, with the CBC News logo underneath in Frutiger. It was short-lived, lasting only a few months. In the fall of 2001, the presentation of The National was updated along with the corporate redesign of the entire network to have one consistent branding.

The rebranding had been scheduled for September 2005 but was postponed because of the lengthy lockout that had just concluded at that time. The primary colour of CBC News shifted from blue to red, not unlike BBC News . The CBC in summer 2006 briefly and controversially aired The National at 11 p.m. on Tuesday nights in

An exception to this rule are

Johanna Schneller wrote for the Toronto Star that the new format was likely an admission by the CBC that "you know the news, but we're the experts.

In August 2012, after the CBC shut down all of their remaining analogue transmitters, CBC television (as well as CBC News Network ) began broadcasting all programming solely in the 16:9 aspect ratio and began letterboxing its widescreen feed for standard definition viewers just as Ici Radio-Canada Télé has done since September 2007. All CBC television stations, including those in major cities, are owned and operated by
2700-600: The CBC North stations in Yellowknife , Whitehorse and Iqaluit , whose call signs begin with "CF" due to their historic association with the CBC's Frontier Coverage Package prior to the advent of microwave and satellite broadcasting. Some stations that broadcast from smaller cities were private affiliates of the CBC, that is, stations which are owned by commercial broadcasters but predominantly incorporated CBC programming within their schedules. Such stations generally followed

The One received very low ratings on both ABC and CBC, and after two weeks The National returned to airing at 10 p.m. five nights a week as of July 31, 2006.

Arsenault will now serve as sole weekday anchor, with Hanomansing continuing to anchor on Friday and Sunday while Chang moves to a new daily program for the CBC's forthcoming streaming news service.

3200-778: The CBC announced it would not add new retransmitters to these areas. Incidentally, CFJC, CKPG and CHAT are all owned by an independent media company, Jim Pattison Group . With the closure of E! and other changes in the media landscape, several former CBC affiliates subsequently joined CTV, Citytv or Global, or closed altogether. According to filings to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) by Thunder Bay Electronics (owner of CBC's Thunder Bay affiliate CKPR-DT ) and Bell Media (owner of CBC affiliates CFTK-TV in Terrace and CJDC-TV in Dawson Creek),
3300-477: The CBC did not broadcast the 11 p.m. airing. "The National Online" debuted on the web on March 21, 1996. The interactive website initially made "available both information about the program and more in-depth content to supplement what we broadcast on television." Later that year the website added news "headlines and very short summaries that got updated about once a day - but that's how online news got started at CBC." On January 9, 2006, The National adopted

In the 2007–08 season, popular series such as Little Mosque on the Prairie and The Border helped the network achieve its strongest ratings performance in over half a decade. In 2002, CBC Television and CBC News Network became
3500-657: The CBC informed them that it would not extend its association with any of its private affiliates beyond August 31, 2011. Incidentally, that was also the date for analogue to digital transition in Canada. Given recent practice and the CBC's decision not to convert any retransmitters to digital, even in markets with populations in the hundreds in thousands, it was not expected that the CBC would open new transmitters to replace its affiliates, and indeed pared back its existing transmitter network to just its digital transmitters in July 2012. However, in March 2011, CKPR announced that it had come to

3700-721: The CBC itself, with their master control facilities all located at the Canadian Broadcasting Centre in Toronto. CBC owned-and-operated (O&O) stations operate as a mostly seamless national service with few deviations from the main network schedule, although there are some regional differences from time to time. For on-air identification, most CBC stations use the CBC brand rather than their call letters, not identifying themselves specifically until sign-on or sign-off (though some, like Toronto's CBLT , do not ID themselves at all except through PSIP ). All CBC O&O stations have

In these cases, the CBC programming being displaced may have been broadcast at
3900-422: The CBC's de facto network TV newscast of record on Saturdays. The National began as The National News in 1954. Since 1952, there had been a five-minute national news bulletin on the fledgling CBC Television service - each bulletin would be read by a different reader, which the CBC's management realised resulted in a disjoined broadcast. Program director Mavor Moore decided to choose a single newsreader for

In the days after September 11, C-SPAN carried CBC's nightly newscast, The National , anchored by Peter Mansbridge . C-SPAN has also carried CBC's coverage of major events affecting Canadians. Among them: Several PBS stations also air some CBC programs, especially The Red Green Show , although no CBC programming currently airs on
4100-464: The CBC's latest corporate redesign. Beginning in the late 1990s, in an effort to provide an 11:00 p.m. alternative to the now-dominant CTV National News , the CBC's owned-and-operated stations would repeat the news headline portion of The National at 11:00 p.m., followed (until summer 2000) by a half-hour local newscast at 11:30. This practice ended in October 2006, when The Hour began airing in that timeslot. Most private affiliates of

Although CBC Television is supported by public funding , commercial advertising revenue supplements the network (in contrast to CBC Radio and public broadcasters from several other countries, which are commercial-free.).

CBC Sports suffered another major blow when it was announced that after the 2007 season, the CFL regular season games and the Grey Cup would be moving to TSN, ending the CBC's tenure with the CFL. It has been stated that

The National and all its news programs originating from the same news studio in Toronto (including CBC News: Sunday Night ) are now available in HD. On September 1, 2011, as part of the analogue television shutoff and digital conversion , all CBC over-the-air HD broadcasts switched from

CBC News executive Jonathan Whitten stated that the new format will be designed to focus more upon in-depth and "personal" coverage of ongoing stories, rather than merely recapping all of
5400-406: The broadcast's segments are taped prior to the program's airtime. The anchor begins the first commercial break of the broadcast by saying "We're back in two." and the second commercial break of the broadcast by saying "The National breaks down the stories shaping our world, next.". Since 2023, the news segment of the show has been followed by a segment called "The Breakdown". The program concludes with
5500-688: The broadcasts are carried by a CRTC -licensed part-time network operated by Rogers and affiliated with all CBC Television stations. This was required to formally assign responsibility for the broadcasts to Rogers; on-air, the telecasts otherwise use CBC branding and continuity. As a result of funding reductions from the federal government and decreased revenues, in April 2014, the CBC announced it would no longer bid for professional sport broadcasting rights. Among CBC Television's best-known primetime series are comedy series Rick Mercer Report (2004–18), This Hour Has 22 Minutes (since 1993) and Little Mosque on

Beginning in 2005, the CBC has contributed production funds for the BBC Wales revival of Doctor Who , for which it received a special credit at the end of each episode. This arrangement continued until

Some may think we're jumping too fast into a world where we're abandoning that six or seven, two-minute news item [model], but we think that's what the positioning for the future's about." There will also be a focus on expanding the presence of The National as an overarching brand for original journalism across

The show also simultaneously broadcasts rolling coverage from CBC News Network from noon to 1 p.m. local time in most time zones (also from 6 to 7 a.m. in regions where a local CBC Radio One morning show is not simulcast instead).
