The CBC provides Canadian material on its radio and TV networks and online music channels, focusing on Canadian culture and arts.  These programs are included in all television packages.  In Northern Canada, the CBC also operates a radio and TV service called '''CBC North''', which provides content in English, Inuktitut (the language of Canada's [[Inuit]] population) and other aboriginal languages.  Aside from the cultural content, the CBC also provides sporting coverage (most notably their long-running Saturday night broadcasts of ''Hockey Night in Canada'', featuring the Canadian teams of the [[National Hockey League]]), which has garnered itself a surprisingly large audience outside of Canada.  Prior to 1998, CBC Television also carried a selection of popular American TV shows concurrently with their originating networks ([[ABC]], [[CBS]], [[NBC]] and, to a lesser extent, [[Fox Network|FOX]]) to attract audiences and retain them for CBC's own shows.

==Accusations of liberal bias, fake news, racism and journalistic unprofessionalism==

The CBC is accused of having a predominantly [[liberal bias]] by [[conservative media]] outlets in the United States and Canada.  It has long supported the positions of the [[Liberal Party of Canada]], acting as a government lapdog when the Liberals are in power (much like the [[mainstream media]] does with the [[Democrat Party]] in the United States) and as a "watchdog" against the government when the [[Conservative Party of Canada|Conservatives]] form the government in [[Ottawa]].  While the CBC is mandated to present an entirely non-partisan viewpoint, most scholars agree that the CBC instead opts for the position of consensus - hence its opposition to opponents of "[[global warming]]/[[climate change]]" and its predominantly hostile take on [[Creationism|biblical creation]] and [[intelligent design]], earning it harsh reviews from groups with interests in creationism.

In February 2022, the CBC ludicrously claimed, without proof, that the anti-CCP flu mandate [[Freedom Convoy]] in [[Ottawa]] was being manipulated by "Russian agents"<ref>[https://www.rebelnews.com/cbc_says_freedom_convoy_protesters_manipulated_by_russian_agents CBC says Freedom Convoy protesters manipulated by Russian agents] at Rebel News</ref> (basically another rehashing of the "Russian bot" canard against anything supported by conservatives which liberals do not like, while ignoring the history of the Left supporting Russia when it was under Communist rule as part of the USSR during the Cold War).
