Abstract
Canada is a federal country of ten provinces and two territories, drawing strongly on cultural traditions from the United Kingdom and France, and in the present century increasingly from the United States. It is not surprising, therefore, that both its education system and its broadcasting system show an unusual blend of principal features. In broadcasting, in particular, there is a national public service, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC); there are large commercial networks across the country; and there is a growing number of public broadcasting services on a provincial or a metropolitan basis. The Ontario Educational Communications Authority (OECA) is a public service of educational broadcasting in English and French for the people of the province of Ontario. This chapter is based on an account prepared by James M. Theroux as part of his Analytical Bibliographical Overview of Educational Radio and Television Operations in the USA, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean (Unesco, 1979).
