The CBC Radio Trial

The CBC Radio Trial


The official CBC Radio WWW site is now operating. It contains most of the information previously found here, and some new and interesting information, including a new catalogue of CBC Radio products.


This is an experiment in distributing CBC Radio programs on the Internet. The experiment is being conducted by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and the Network Services and Interfaces Laboratory of the Communications Research Centre (CRC).

The entire CBC collection on this server is now mirrored by the Internet Multicasting Service in Washington, DC. You may want to access that site if this link is slow.

Currently, this section contains:

Regular Radio Programs

Text Material and Other Information

Illustrated Audio - Technology for synchronized sound and image presentations


Note: the sound files are stored in 'au' format. If your system cannot play that format, you should transfer the files and then look in the Tools Area for conversion utilities.

Note: the sound files can be rather large. Each minute of sound takes about .5 MB of storage, so a 10-minute story will be about 5 MB long. Keep this in mind when transfering and storing the files.


Your feedback about this trial would be appreciated. Please send your comments and suggestions to:
