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:
“They [parents] can help the children work out schedules for homework, play, and television that minimize the conflicts involved in what to do first. They can offer moral support and encouragement to persist, to try again, to struggle for understanding and mastery. And they can share a child’s pleasure in mastery and accomplishment. But they must not do the job for the children.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
