CBC Radio 1 Toronto is a CBCstation. The CBC is Canada's public broadcaster — owned by the Canadian public through the Government of Canada, and accountable to all Canadians. That means this station belongs to you and every other Canadian citizen, not to a private company.
What it costs Canadians. CBC/Radio-Canada is funded by Parliament. In 2024–25 it received $1.31 billion in operating funding from the Government of Canada — about $31.58 per Canadian resident per year, or $63.14 per working Canadian per year (operating appropriation basis; including capital amortization and working capital, about $33.94 per resident / $67.86 per working Canadian).

CBC stations are identified by a call sign beginning with CB (the Canadian CB prefix) or by naming the CBC directly.
