CBC Radio Three - Definition

CBC Radio Three is a website devoted to Canadian arts and music.

Operated by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Radio Three had its genesis in a 1997 plan to open a third radio network, complementing CBC Radio One and CBC Radio Two, devoted to youth culture. Although the original radio network proposal was abandoned, the CBC launched Radio Three as a pilot project through its new media division.

A cross between a webzine and an Internet radio stream, Radio Three includes both writing and music. It consists of a cluster of related websites, including 120 Seconds, New Music Canada and Just Concerts, which offer streaming media. All of its sites can be accessed either independently or through the main CBC Radio Three portal.

CBC Radio Three also rebroadcasts some of its content as a Saturday night program on CBC Radio Two.

CBC Radio Three won the 2003 Webby Award and People's Voice Award for Best Broadband site.
