News Summary:

Canada's CBC/Radio-Canada became a full Member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) on June 26, 2026, following a vote at the EBU's 96th General Assembly in Prague. This decision opens the possibility for Canada to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest, with CBC having been an associate member of the organization since 1950. Previously, on June 19, the network expressed its contentment with moving on from Saturday hockey broadcasts, an outcome of a process to terminate this Canadian tradition that started with the sale of broadcasting rights to Rogers Corporation in 2013 and a subsequent short-term licensing agreement. This development followed the conclusion of CBC's sub-licensing agreement with Rogers Communications for NHL games. On June 18, Canadians experienced a brief pang of regret at the news that CBC would no longer broadcast National Hockey League games on Saturday nights, a practice since 2014 under that agreement. That same day, CBC began mulling options for how to incorporate the "Hockey Night in Canada" brand it retained, considering content like the PWHL for the vacated Saturday night block.
