Show detail Hide detail

This is one of a series of radio programs about the history of Canadian radio in the 1920s and the 1930s, based on oral history interviews by Kenneth Bambrick of Canadian radio pioneers. The series explores major aspects of the development of the radio industry in Canada. This program looks at the role of Canadian National Railways as a pioneer in the development of Canadian radio broadcasting. Prodded by its president, Sir Henry Thornton, CN established stations and was heavily into program during the period of 1923 to 1933. The railway, to honor the diamond jubilee of Confederation, assembled the first coast-to-coast radio network in North America, for a special broadcast on July 1, 1927. CN relinquished its broadcasting role in 1933, partly due to the Depression and partly because the Canadian government established a publicly-owned radio broadcasting system under the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission (CRBC). The CRBC later became the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. This documentary features interviews of Jack Carlyle, Herb Roberts and Ernie Jackson. <25mn 35s>
