 CBC Radio One - Definition 

CBC Radio One is the English language news and information radio network of the publicly-owned Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It is commercial free and offers both local and national programming. It is available to ninety-eight percent of Canadians, and is also available overseas through Radio Canada International and also over the Internet.

CBC radio began in 1936, and is the oldest branch of the Corporation. Beginning in 1944, the CBC operated two English language radio services, the original network became the Trans-Canada Network and a new network, the Dominion Network was established with CJBC in Toronto as its flagship. With the exception of CJBC, all the stations on the CBC Dominion Network were privately owned affiliates, its programming tended to be lighter than that of the Trans-Canada Network and carried more American programming in its schedule. As well, the Dominion Network operated only in the evenings freeing affiliates to air local programming during the days. In 1962. the Dominion Network was dissolved and within a few years CJBC became a French-language station broadcasting the programming of Radio-Canada. CBC Radio stopped running commercial advertising in 1974.

In 1975 CBC returned to having two English radio networks with its launch of an FM network CBC Stereo, linking together CBC-owned FM stations which had been set up over the previous decade. The AM service was designated CBC Radio.

In 1997 the services were rebranded with CBC Radio becoming CBC Radio One and CBC Stereo becoming CBC Radio Two. This reflected the former distinction between Radio One's status as an AM radio network and Radio Two's status as an FM radio network. However, many of the old AM stations had moved to FM in the 1990s, so in that year the CBC rebranded the networks as Radio One and Radio Two.
