CBC Radio One Schedule
Most schedules include hourly news readings that run from 6–12 minutes on the top of the hour except for major programming like the 6 p.m. news show and Cross Country Checkup. Some mid-day programs include only brief 90-second "information updates".
The Radio One feed on Sirius Satellite Radio has no local programming, and repeats other shows in time slots that would normally be occupied by local programming. It carries the first feed of The World at Six at 6 p.m. Atlantic Time (5 p.m. Eastern Time), and also carries The World at Six in its last airing at 6 p.m. Pacific Time.
On statutory holidays, local programming is replaced by special provincial programming. In the summer months of July and August, some programming is temporarily shortened and/or replaced by special summer series. During the CBC's recent labour dispute, most of the schedule was temporarily replaced by a mix of repeat airings of recent CBC programs, BBC World news programming and music from the CBC service Galaxie.
Stations in the Canadian territories air a significantly different schedule with expanded local programming that includes a number of programs in local Aboriginal languages. They still air most, but not all, of the core CBC Radio One schedule, although some programs may air in abbreviated versions. See CBC North for further information.
On January 17, 2007, the CBC announced some changes to the network's schedule to begin in April. Among them, Freestyle and The Arts Tonight were merged into Q, an arts magazine show hosted by Jian Ghomeshi, Global Village was discontinued and some of its features were merged into Dispatches, and Between the Covers moved exclusively online as a podcast. Reasons given for the schedule changes are said to be based on audience research, however some negative reaction has been seen.
It was announced in March 2009 that The Inside Track, Outfront, The Point and In the Key of Charles would be cancelled, and that the noontime local shows would be reduced to one hour.
More recently, the network has also begun airing some programming syndicated from National Public Radio and Public Radio International in the United States, including This American Life and the news series The World and The State We're In.

Famous quotes containing the word radio:
“We spend all day broadcasting on the radio and TV telling people back home what’s happening here. And we learn what’s happening here by spending all day monitoring the radio and TV broadcasts from back home.”
