CBC News Roundup (French counterpart: La revue de l'actualité) started on August 16, 1943, at 7:45 pm,[1] being replaced by The World at Six on October 31, 1966.

[2] On English-language television the first newscast, part of CBC Newsmagazine, was given on September 8, 1952, on CBLT (Toronto), the only English station then telecasting.

[6][7][8] In November 2023, the CBC joined with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, Paper Trail Media [de] and 69 media partners including Distributed Denial of Secrets and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and more than 270 journalists in 55 countries and territories[9][10] to produce the 'Cyprus Confidential' report on the financial network which supports the regime of Vladimir Putin, mostly with connections to Cyprus, and showed Cyprus to have strong links with high-up figures in the Kremlin, some of whom have been sanctioned.

[11][12] Government officials including Cyprus president Nikos Christodoulides[13] and European lawmakers[14] began responding to the investigation's findings in less than 24 hours,[15] calling for reforms and launching probes.

[23] They are also responsible for news, business, weather and sports information for Air Canada's inflight entertainment.

Local radio newscasts are heard on the half-hour during morning and afternoon drive shows and on the hour at other times during the day.

Current programs include CBC News Now (based in Toronto with Heather Hiscox, Suhana Meharchand, Carole MacNeil, John Northcott, Andrew Nichols (weekdays) and Aarti Pole and Michael Serapio (weekends), Power & Politics (based in Ottawa with host David Cochrane), and The National (with Adrienne Arsenault (Toronto), Ian Hanomansing (Vancouver) and Rosemary Barton hosting the weekly At Issue panel (Ottawa)).

[32] The network dropped the four-anchor format on January 22, 2020, and had Arsenault and Chang co-anchor from Monday through Thursday with Hanomansing as solo anchor for the Friday and Sunday editions.

[35] In November 2014, citing difficulties implementing this new system, the CBC announced a one-year trial content sharing partnership with The Weather Network, the privately owned cable specialty channel, which went into effect on December 8.

Under the partnership, in exchange for access to weather-related news coverage from the CBC, The Weather Network provides the national weather reports seen on The National and CBCNN daytime programming, as well as local forecasts for CBC Toronto's weekend newscasts.

[42] The CBC News Hall of Fame was established in 2015 to honour men and women who have shaped Canadian journalism.

As a Canadian institution and a press undertaking, the CBC set out the Journalistic Standards and Practices and works in compliance with these principles.

As it is with other public and private journalistic undertakings, credibility in the eyes of the general population is seen as the corporation's most valuable asset.
