CBC Radio 3 is available 24/7 on satellite radio. Beamed across North America on channel 86 of the Sirius Satellite Radio network, the station features artists from across the country in multiple genres, including rock, pop, hip-hop, electronica, and alt-country. For those artists, it means reaching millions of music fans they never would have before. CBC Radio 3 specializes in new music.

We operate the largest database of independent Canadian music - New Music Canada .
We take that music and program it into several forms of media: free web radio (24/7), satellite radio (24/7), podcasts, and our exclusive sessions can be seen on television, for digital cable subscribers, on Country Canada's In Session .

We first launched back in 2000 as a union of websites with a national radio show every Saturday and Sunday night on CBC Radio 2 fm. Since then, we have evolved into one of the greatest new media ventures Canada has ever seen or heard! Visit the CBC Radio 3 Blog for all the latest in Canadian music news!
