CBC customer care and support service

The Canadian Broadcast Corporation is an English and French language national broadcaster in Canada. They have broadcasts on both television and radio, and have been around since 1936, making it the oldest in Canada.

One of the CBC’s main mandates is the focus on Canadian content across their media platforms. As of 2010, CBC.ca boasts over 5 million visitors a month checking out their content.

CBC continues to grow with the times, providing podcasts and a music streaming app. More recently, they signed a deal with Netflix to provide special productions.

The CBC/Radio-Canada website is filled with content. It has stories and videos focused on things that are relevant to Canadians across different categories.

From sports to politics, and lifestyle to radio, you can find current happenings on this official website.

Lastly, the CBC website offers many ways for visitors to contact them. Whether you want to give feedback, ask a question, or find general information, CBC has different contact options.

And, this article will help clarify how to contact various departments for specific inquiries, as well as navigating social platform communication.

Social Media for CBC

Next, if you would rather connect with CBC on social media platforms, you can do so on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. But, if you have specific concerns, social media is not a good way to contact them.

CBC, like many large companies, has a large following so communication is usually one-sided because they have no way of responding to every follower.

Generally, you can check out the latest news and events on the CBC pages and make comments. But, don’t expect a direct comment back.

Facebook

@cbc is the CBC Canada official Facebook page and you can look at new videos and interesting news. CBC says that you can send them a message via Facebook Messenger, and you will receive a message back in a few hours. So, in this instance this social media platform is closely monitored.
