This article about a network needs to be expanded with more information. Please help out by editing it.

CBC Television is the English language broadcast television network run by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It airs mostly Canadian content with a few British and off network American shows and movies. All shows airing on CBC Television, and most ads, are closed captioned.

CBC Television is time shifted for each Canadian time zone except the Newfoundland Time Zone which receives the Atlantic feed instead; hence the times in CBC ads are often qualified as "half an hour later in Newfoundland".
