Radio Canada International




Rewind from CBC Radio show

Summary: Today the Voice of Canada- Radio Canada International. When it was first established in February 1945, the CBC International Service was intended for broadcast to Canadian Forces overseas. By war's end the radio service was telling the world about Canada in over a dozen languages. Despite budget cuts and critics who accused it of employing communists or operating as a government mouthpiece, the service now called Radio Canada International has persevered. On this show we look back on RCI's six and a half decades of shortwave radio.
