The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is a publicly financed broadcaster operating radio networks (CBC Radio One and CBC Radio Two in English, CBC Radio Three, Première Chaîne and Espace Musique in French) and two television networks (one in each language) covering Canadian news, information, and entertainment. In addition, the CBC operates cable TV channels, satellite channels, Internet programming and a digital pay audio service (Galaxie) with 45 music channels. Public funds provide the majority of the CBC's operating budget, while it also generates revenue through advertising and subscription fees.
