Nationalism and Communication
In this article, Mary Vipond describes how and why she developed an interest in the history of English-Canadian cultural nationalism and radio broadcasting. As a cultural historian in a discipline oriented toward political and, later, social history, a woman in a male-dominated profession, and an anglophone in Quebec, she remembers the mix of luck, curiosity, and opportunity that enabled her to fulfil both her personal and academic goals. She end…
What's a New Public Broadcaster To Do: The Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission's Programs in Transnational Context, 1932–1936
Canada was the first country challenged by the massive inflow of American popular culture. The Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission (CRBC), Canada's first national public broadcaster, was created to provide an alternative to U.S. network and Canadian commercial radio. After analyzing the CRBC's programs, this article concludes that even the public network imitated or incorporated much American programming, but recontextualized it to Canadian lo…
Censorship in a Liberal State: Regulating Talk on Canadian Radio in the Early 1930s
The Royal Tour of 1939 as a Media Event
This article examines three radio broadcasts from the royal tour of 1939, namely those covering the departure of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth from Niagara Falls, Ontario, on their way to visit the United States on June 7, 1939. The analysis contributes to the debate about the function of “media events” sparked by Daniel Dayan and Elihu Katz’s eponymous 1992 book. While Dayan and Katz argue that historic national televised ceremonies enhance…
Going Their Own Way: The relationship between the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission and the BBC, 1933–36
The goal of this article is to demonstrate and analyse how two public broadcasters with cultural and technical mandates to foster identity formation, the BBC in Britain and the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission (CRBC) in Canada, came to terms with the fact that the British and Canadian identities were different, and growing more so, in the 1930s. The focus is on how two BBC officials, Malcolm Frost and Felix Greene, assessed the public broad…
One Network or Two? French-Language Programming on the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission, 1932–36
During the four years of its existence, the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission (crbc), Canada's first public broadcaster, became a site where different conceptions of broadcasting and of Canada itself were contested and debated. One of the most significant controversies concerned the extent of French programming on the commission's national network, ultimately resolved by placing most French-language programs on a separate network covering on…
Cultural Authority and Canadian Public Broadcasting in the 1930s: Hector Charlesworth and the CRBC
The Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission (CRBC), created as Canada’s first public broadcaster in 1932, struggled throughout its short existence to establish its legitimacy and authority as a cultural and social force in a North American environment dominated by entertainment-oriented commercial broadcasting. This study focusses on the views of Hector W. Charlesworth, the chairman of the commission, in order to tease out his vision of the organi…
One Network or Two: French-Language Programming on the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission, 1932–36
Durant ses quatre années d'existence, la Commission canadienne de radiodiffusion ( CCR/CRBC ), premier diffuseur public de l'histoire du pays, est le théâtre d'un affrontement entre différentes conceptions de la radiodiffusion et du Canada lui-même. L'une des controverses les plus importantes concerne la place à donner à la programmation de langue française sur le réseau national. La question est finalement résolue par la création d'un réseau fra…
Arrestin-2 and G Protein-coupled Receptor Kinase 5 Interact with NFκB1 p105 and Negatively Regulate Lipopolysaccharide-stimulated ERK1/2 Activation in Macrophages
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a recently described receptor class involved in the regulation of innate and adaptive immunity. Here, we demonstrate that arrestin-2 and GRK5 (G protein-coupled receptor kinase 5), proteins that regulate G protein-coupled receptor signaling, play a negative role in TLR4 signaling in Raw264.7 macrophages. We find that lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation is significantly enhanced in arrestin-2 and …
British or American: Canada's ‘mixed’ broadcasting system in the 1930s
This article examines the role of independent commercial radio stations in Canada in the early 1930s. Canada's first public broadcaster, the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission, was created in 1932. It constructed a national network comprised of its own stations and time leased on many of the previously existing privately owned stations. A number of commercial stations, however, remained independent of all networks. It is argued here that for …

The Beginnings of Public Broadcasting in Canada: The CRBC, 1932-1936
Canadian broadcasting developed almost entirely in the private sector in its first decade, from 1922 to 1932. Although there were a few stations owned by public corporations, the vast majority of the broadcasting stations in existence in Canada in 1932 were privately owned for purposes of publicity and /or profit. Unlike other mass media, however, radio broadcasting was quite closely regulated by the state from its earliest days, specifically by …

Two Heroes of the 1920s: Charles Lindbergh and Dr. Frederick Banting
In The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbell argues that certain characteristics of heroes, what he calls the heroic "monomyth," are cross- cultural, that the same pattern of separation-initiation-return occurs in all heroic narratives.1 While he stresses the similarities between heroic myths, he also concedes that "there are of course differences between the numerous mythologies and religions of mankind" (p. 385). The specific attributes o…

Canadian Nationalism and the Plight of Canadian Magazines in the 1920s
AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE poured into Canada in the 192os , not for the first time, but at an unprecedented rate. Vast numbers of Canadians apparently delighted in the diverting, entertaining, cheap yet sophisticated products of the burgeoning American mass culture industry. A minority of English-speaking Canadian nationalists, elf-styled moulders of public opinion and self-interested Canadian producers of similar products, however, campaigned agg…
