==English== CBC Radio operates three [[English language]] networks. *[[CBC Radio One]] - Primarily news and information, ''Radio One'' broadcasts to most communities across Canada. Until 1997, it was known as "CBC Radio". *[[CBC Music]] - Broadcasts an adult music format with a variety of genres, with the classical genre generally restricted to midday hours. From 2007 to 2018, it was known as "CBC Radio 2". *[[CBC Radio 3]] - Broadcasts a youth-oriented [[indie rock]] format through the CBC's [[internet radio|online radio]] platform, and formerly on [[Sirius XM]]. Some content from Radio 3 was also broadcast as weekend programming on Radio Two until March 2007. The inconsistency of branding between the word "One" and the numerals "2" and "3" was a deliberate design choice on CBC's part and is not an error, though from 1997 to 2007, CBC Music was known as "CBC Radio Two".{{Citation needed|date=March 2024}} From 1944 to 1962 the CBC's English service operated two radio networks, the main [[Trans-Canada Network]] and the [[Dominion Network]]. In 1962 the Dominion Network was disbanded and the Trans-Canada Network became known as CBC Radio and in 1997, CBC Radio One. In some cases CBC announcers will still say "CBC Radio" in reference to programs that air only on Radio One. CBC Music originated in 1960 as the CBC FM network. It was rebranded as CBC Stereo in 1975, and then CBC Radio Two in 1997 before becoming CBC Music in 2018.{{Citation needed|date=March 2024}} In August 2009, CBC Radio launched a [[mobile app]], initially for [[iOS]], featuring streams of the three services, and other web-exclusive stations. In February 2012, the CBC launched a new, similar streaming platform and app known as CBC Music.<ref name=citizen>[https://ottawacitizen.com/entertainment/launches+free+digital+music+service/6145770/story.html "CBC launches free digital music service"].
