Overview

CBC Television provides a complete 24-hour network schedule of news, sports, entertainment and children's programming, in most cases feeding the same programming at the same local times nationwide, except to the Newfoundland Standard Time Zone, where programs air 30 minutes "late". The Newfoundland Time Zone (NT is a geographic region that keeps time by subtracting 3½ hours from Coordinated Universal Time ( UTC) resulting in UTC-330, or 2½ As of 6:00 a. m. on October 9, 2006, the network went to a 24-hour schedule, becoming one of the last major English-language broadcasters to do so. Events 768 - Carloman I and Charlemagne are crowned Kings of The Franks. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. Previously, most CBC-owned stations actually signed off the airwaves during the early morning hours (typically 1:00 a. Sign-off (or in British/Irish/New Zealand English closedown) is the sequence of operations involved when a radio or Television station shuts down its m. to 6:00 a. m. ). Instead of the infomercials aired by most private stations, or a simulcast of CBC Newsworld in the style of BBC One's nightly simulcast of BBC News 24, CBC will use the time to air repeats, including local news, primetime series, movies, and other programming from the CBC library. Infomercials (or informercials are Television commercials that run for one minute or for as long as a typical Television program CBC Newsworld is a Canadian English language Cable television specialty news channel owned and operated by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation BBC News is the BBC's 24 hour rolling news television channel in the United Kingdom and also available in the Republic of Ireland. [1] However, its French counterpart, Radio-Canada, still signs off every night. Télévision de Radio-Canada is a Canadian French language Television network.

While historically there has been room for regional differences in the schedule, as there is today (see "Stations", below), for CBC-owned stations, funding has decreased to the point that most of these stations only broadcast 30 minutes a day of local news, and usually no other local programming. However, the CBC has recently [2] indicated that local programming will be expanded in some markets in fall 2005 as a pilot project. Year 2005 ( MMV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar of the Gregorian calendar.

Until the mid-1990s, the network carried a variety of American programs in addition to its core Canadian programming, directly competing with private Canadian broadcasters such as CTV and Global. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the CTV is a Canadian English language Television network. It is Canada's largest privately owned network the main television asset of CTVglobemedia Global Television Network (more commonly called Global TV or just Global) is a Canadian English language privately owned Television network Since then, it has restricted itself to Canadian programs, a handful of British programs, and a few American movies and off-network repeats. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain,is a Sovereign state located Since this change, the CBC has sometimes struggled to maintain ratings comparable to those it achieved before 1995, although it has seen somewhat of a ratings resurgence in recent years. In the 2007-08 season, hit series such as Little Mosque on the Prairie and The Border helped the network achieve its strongest ratings performance in over half a decade. Little Mosque on the Prairie is a Canadian Sitcom on CBC Television, created by Zarqa Nawaz. The Border is a Canadian drama airing on CBC Television. Created by Peter Raymont Lindalee Tracey Janet MacLean and Jeremy Hole of White Pine Pictures [3]

In 2002, CBC Television and CBC Newsworld became the first broadcasters in Canada (and very likely the first broadcasters worldwide) required to provide closed captioning for 100% of their programming. CBC Newsworld is a Canadian English language Cable television specialty news channel owned and operated by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Closed captioning is a term describing several systems developed to display text on a Television or Video screen to provide additional or interpretive On those networks, only outside commercials need not be captioned, though a bare majority of them are aired with captions. All shows, bumpers, billboards, promos, and other internal programming must be captioned. The requirement stems from a human rights complaint filed by deaf lawyer Henry Vlug that was settled in 2002.

One of the most popular shows on CBC Television is the weekly Saturday night broadcast of NHL hockey games, Hockey Night in Canada. Established in the 1930s, CBC News is the department within the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation responsible for the news gathering and production of news programs The National Hockey League ( NHL) is a professional Ice hockey league composed of 30 teams in North America Ice hockey, often referred to simply as hockey, is a team Sport played on Ice. It has been televised since 1952. However, during the NHL lockout and subsequent cancellation of the 2004-2005 hockey season, CBC instead aired various recent and classic movies, branded as Movie Night in Canada, on Saturday nights. Many cultural groups criticized this and suggested the CBC air games from minor hockey leagues; the CBC responded that most such broadcast rights were already held by other groups, but it did base each Movie Night broadcast from a different Canadian hockey venue.

Other than hockey, CBC Sports properties include the Canadian Football League, the Olympic Games through the 2008 edition, Toronto Blue Jays Baseball, Toronto FC Soccer, and various other amateur and professional events.

CBC Sports suffered another major blow when it was announced that after the 2007 season CFL regular season games and The Grey Cup will be moving to TSN, ending CBC's tenure with the CFL. It has been stated that the CFL was not happy with the CBC's lackluster production due to a lockout of CBC's union employees which forced the network to use CBC management to work the behind the scenes telecast and use stadium public address announcers in place of their regular announcer crew.

In 2006, the CBC announced radical changes to its primetime lineup, including the following new series to premiere that fall:

Many were surprised by these changes to the CBC schedule, which were apparently intended to attract a younger audience to the network; some suggested they might alienate the core CBC viewership.

The Hour is a Canadian television Newsmagazine broadcast on CBC Television. Another note of criticism was made when the network decided to move The National in some time zones to simulcast the American version of The One over the summer. The National, now officially known as CBC News The National, is the CBC 's flagship national Television Newscast. This later became a moot point, as The One was taken off the air after two weeks after extremely low American and Canadian ratings, and the newscast resumed its regular schedule.

In 2006, daytime programming was also revamped. While there were still repeats of CBC and foreign series, new talk shows such as The Gill Deacon Show and the regional franchise Living were added.

Most CBC television stations, including those in the major cities, are owned and operated by the CBC itself. The following is a list of television stations which are owned by or regional affiliates of CBC Television. CBC O&O stations deviate very little 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, don't ID themselves at all). CBLT is the Television call sign for the CBC 's Television station in Toronto, Ontario. All CBC O&O stations have a standard call-letter naming convention, in that the first two letters are "CB" and the last letter is "T".

E! is an English language privately-owned Television system in Canada. In these cases, the CBC programming being displaced may be broadcast at a different time than the network, or may not be broadcast on the station at all.

Some of the private affiliates have begun adding CBC's overnight programming to their schedules since the network went to 24-hour broadcasting.

Private CBC affiliates are not as common as they were in the past, as many such stations have been purchased either by the CBC itself or by CHUM Limited, becoming A-Channel stations.
