Lonely Planet review

Toronto's enormous Canadian Broadcasting Centre (CBC) is the headquarters for English-language public radio and TV programming across Canada. The French-language production facilities are in Montréal, which leaves the president, in a truly Canadian spirit of compromise, stranded in an executive office in Ottawa.

You can take a peek at the radio newsrooms anytime or attend a free noontime concert in the world-class Glenn Gould Studio. For a dose of Canadian pop culture nostalgia, visit the miniature-sized CBC Museum with its amazing collection of antique microphones (the 1949 RCA 74DX is a doozy!), sound effects machines, tape recorders and puppets from kids' TV shows. Next door the Graham Spry Theatre screens classic TV show excerpts.
