Canadian public broadcasting is closely linked with a larger project familiar to Europeans: telling a story about a collection of peoples spread over a northern continent. For half of Canada’s 140-year history the public radio service of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), joined by TV and digital media, has provided the bulk of programming in the mixed private-public broadcasting system. The CBC was created to help form and then protect Canadian identity by broadcasting ‘CanCon’ (Canadian Content). The digital revolution only intensified the cultural project in the context of one of the world’s highest levels of integration with a foreign — read American — market.
