CBC Television (also known as CBC) is a Canadian television network owned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the national English-language public broadcaster. (Its French-language counterpart is Télévision de Radio-Canada, headquartered in Montreal.)
Headquartered in Toronto, CBC Television is available through local TV stations across Canada, many of which are owned by the CBC. Almost all of the CBC's programming is of Canadian origin. Although the CBC is supported by public funding, commercial advertising revenue supplements the network, in contrast to CBC Radio and public broadcasters from several other countries, which are commercial-free.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“Photographs may be more memorable than moving images because they are a neat slice of time, not a flow. Television is a stream of underselected images, each of which cancels its predecessor. Each still photograph is a privileged moment, turned into a slim object that one can keep and look at again.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
