About CBC

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), also known as CBC/Radio-Canada, is Canada's public broadcaster. It was founded on November 2, 1936, and operates as a Crown corporation under the Department of Canadian Heritage. Headquartered in Ottawa, the corporation works across broadcasting, streaming media, and production. Its official site is cbc.radio-canada.ca.
CBC is Canada's public broadcaster, serving audiences across radio, television, and digital platforms. When streams stall or apps fail to load, it can be hard to tell whether the problem sits with CBC's services or with your own setup. This page tracks reported issues so you can check the current picture before troubleshooting on your end.
CBC, also known as CBC/Radio-Canada, delivers news, entertainment, and live channels through its website, mobile apps, and streaming services. Many people use it daily for live TV, radio streams, and on-demand video. The most common problems involve live streams freezing or dropping, apps failing to load content, playback errors on smart TVs, and occasional account or sign-in trouble. During major news events or live sports, demand can spike and video quality may drop. Website playback issues are also reported from time to time. Before reporting a problem, check a few things. Confirm your internet connection is stable. Try closing and reopening the app, or refresh the page. If you use a smart TV or streaming stick, a restart often helps. Check that the CBC app is updated, and see whether other streaming services work on the same device. If everything else runs fine and CBC still fails, the issue is likely on the service side.
