Abstract
The development of radio broadcasting in Canada has been very rapid and there are now 85 broadcast transmitters in daily operation. All broadcasting is under the control of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, an independent Government corporation, which in addition to its regulatory functions operates a coast to coast network connecting together, for a nationwide service, its own ten modern stations with almost half of the privately owned transmitters. It cannot therefore be said that radio in Canada is owned and operated by the Government as the CBC is independent and free to apply its revenues derived from licenses and commercial operation, in the best interests of its radio audience. The Canadian system is one of cooperation between a semipublic service and private ownership. Parliamentary enquiries have always found it the best suited to Canada's needs considering its vast area and relatively sparse population.
