Title
American Network Broadcasting, the CBC, and Canadian Radio Stations During the 1930s : A Content Analysis
Abstract
The author points out that Canadian historical literature of early radio broadcasting focuses largely on policy and formation of two successive public networks: the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission (CRBC) and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). She notes that this literature rests fundamentally on the assumption that the CRBC and CBC were formed to counter the threat of American cultural domination. The author's study is based on a stratified random sample of radio schedules selected from the Vancouver Sun, Montreal Gazette, and Halifax Herald newspapers. Her content analysis of radio schedules demonstrates an overall trend of greater U.S. programming within Canadian radio station schedules coinciding with the introduction of programs produced in the United States by the CBC.
