CBC News Network Live Stream

CBC News Network is the 24-hour news channel of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, launched in 1989 as CBC Newsworld and renamed in 2009, which makes it the country's oldest continuous news channel.

Canada's public news

The channel is the news arm of the CBC, the national public broadcaster, and its grid runs on continuous news editions, live coverage of national events and documentary and analysis programmes drawing on the corporation's correspondents across the country and abroad.

CBC Newsworld to News Network

The service began in 1989, when Canada had no all-news television and the corporation built one around its existing newsroom. The renaming in 2009 aligned it with the other CBC news brands, and the channel's output moved with the corporation's shift to digital distribution.

A public broadcaster's news

CBC is funded by parliament and accountable to it, and its newsroom is the largest in the country. That funding is what allows coverage of the North, the provinces and minority communities that a commercial news channel would treat as unprofitable.

Distribution

The channel broadcasts on Canadian cable and streams through the CBC's own platforms, reaching Canadians at home and the diaspora abroad.
