Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission

The Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission (CRBC; French: Commission canadienne de radiodiffusion, CCR), also referred to as the Canadian Radio Commission (CRC), was Canada's first national public broadcaster and the immediate predecessor of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). It existed from 1932 to 1936 and combined two roles: operating a national public radio service and regulating private radio broadcasting in Canada.

The CRBC was created by the government of R. B. Bennett following the recommendations of the 1929 Royal Commission on Radio Broadcasting, commonly known as the Aird Commission, and after lobbying by the Canadian Radio League. It acquired several stations and facilities from CNR Radio, Canada’s first national radio network, and used a mixture of owned stations, leased facilities and private affiliates to distribute national programming. On 2 November 1936, it was replaced by the CBC, a more autonomous Crown corporation.
