News Summary:

CBC announced on August 13, 2026, five-year broadcast agreements with Sportsnet for the Grand Slam of Curling and Rock League, with Grand Slam playoff games set to occupy CBC’s Saturday primetime slot starting in October, a window Hockey Night in Canada previously held for 74 years. Earlier, on August 4, 2026, the federal government increased CBC’s budget by $150 million, in part to help combat disinformation, following Mark Carney's Liberals securing a majority in the 2026 election after winning the 2025 election. Previously, on July 30, 2026, the public broadcaster declined to disclose the taxpayer contribution for Mark Carney’s Eurovision bid. This followed a July 21, 2026 discussion by Alberta Senator Paula Simons, a member of the Standing Senate Committee on Transport and Communications, regarding a report examining the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's future, particularly its regional work, citing its original mandate to provide Canadian stories and voices.

What 6 years’ worth of corrections tell us about CBC’s progressive bias: Dave Snow in The Hub

Tis article originally appeared in The Hub. By Dave Snow, August 4, 2026 The CBC can be forgiven for breathing a prolonged sigh of relief. After Mark Carney’s Liberals won the 2025 election, the federal government increased CBC’s budget by $150 million, in part to help “combat disinformation.” Given that the Liberals secured a majority in 2026 amid the Conservatives’ struggles in the polls, the threat of a defunded CBC now seems remote.
