Today in CBC history: Can you help?
Now that it’s a new year, I thought I’d try to collect a list of important dates in the CBC’s history. I’ve culled what I can from the CBC archives site but, as you can see in the sidebar to the right, I’m hoping to have one item of historical significance each day.
Here’s what I’ve got so far. Please let me know if there are any important dates you’d like to add.
I’m certainly willing to do the legwork on it, but I wonder if such a list already exists and, if so, can someone point me to it?
Some historical sites exist, like the CBC’s official milestones site, and CBC.ca’s excellent 10th anniversary site, but none of these offer actual dates.

Hi Tod. Here’s an item for your “today in CBC history” column. Thursday, January 11th will mark the 25th anniversary of the launch of The Journal and the move of The National to 10 p.m.

Thanks Ruth-Ellen! ‘ I’ve added it.
I emailed you one on HNIC’s first televised game and I’ll dig up some more later. You should turn the “Today in CBC history” factbite on your sidebar into a javascript code that other bloggers can carry on their sites.
And it was Jan 01 1944 that the Dominion Network started with CJBC.
Full programming started in the Fall. The first sponsored programme was Clifton Fadiman’s Information please on 15 April.
Where is CFPL London and CKX Brandon and many other stations?
Your item is so west-coastish with those stations, that it is rain-soaked.
Hi Tod,
There’s a timeline here that lists a number of firsts relating to CBC Radio’s role in the development of the music scene in Canada.
