This set of maps is typical of the maps which appear in several C.B.C.: Annual Reports. Of special note on this map, however, is the extension for the first time of the C.B.C. radio network to the Canadian north. In the 1950's the C.B.C. had developed a broad plan to bring daily Canadian radio service to the north. In 1958-59 four stations were acquired by the C.B.C. including Whitehorse, Dawson City, Yellowknife, and Goose Bay. In 1959-60 low-power relay transmitters were installed at Fort Nelson and Watson Lake and new stations were added at Fort Smith, Hay River and Churchill, Of these Whitehorse was linked by landline to Edmonton for network programs, and the others were serviced either by recorded programs or by pick-up and relay of broadcasts from C.B.C. transmitters at Lacombe, Alberta, Watrous, Saskatchewan, and Sackville, New Brunswick, (See P. 10 of the Report).
This map is from the C.B.C. Annual Report 1958-59 in the Canadian Government Documents Section, National Library. Similar maps are found in other C.B.C. Reports.
