Radio-Canada, a state-owned entity headquartered in Canada, was founded in 1936 and employs approximately 3,100 individuals. Functioning as Canada's national public broadcaster and one of the country's largest cultural institutions, the company specializes in broadcast media production and distribution.
CBC/Radio-Canada became a full member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) on June 26, following a vote at the EBU’s 96th General Assembly in Prague. The public broadcaster had previously held associate member status since 1950, a development that could open the possibility for Canada to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest. Earlier on June 19, Radio-Canada announced a significant expansion of its regional journalism operations, establishing new bureaus in Drummondville and other communities across Canada. This initiative involves hiring five new journalists in Drummondville, adding four specialized misinformation reporters across four cities, and increasing programming staff in Windsor to deliver more local news and combat false information ahead of Quebec’s fall election. Also on June 19, the Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB) welcomed a Senate report’s recommendation that CBC/Radio-Canada enhance collaboration with private and community media. The Senate Committee on Transport and Communications had examined the public broadcaster’s local services, hearing from over 60 witnesses. This followed commentary reflecting on CBC's shift from broadcasting *Hockey Night in Canada*, a process that began with the sale of broadcasting rights to Rogers Corporation in 2013, despite CBC retaining a short-term licensing agreement.
