CBC Podcasts channel on YouTube

July 20, 2023

CBC, the Canadian podcaster, has announced a new channel on YouTube that sees a collection of CBC podcasts available through the digital platform. Audiences can now stream more than a dozen CBC Podcasts on YouTube, including: investigative titles Someone Knows Something and Uncover; acclaimed hits Let’s Not Be Kidding and Run, Hide, Repeat; and daily essential series Front Burner (news) and Commotion With Elamin Abdelmahmoud (arts and entertainment).

The selection of audio content is now available on the newly developed YouTube channel, CBC Podcasts, which will continue to grow in the coming months with the addition of video podcasts.

“The launch of CBC Podcasts on YouTube furthers a commitment to making our amazing catalogue of podcast content available to audiences on the platform of their choice,” said Barbara Williams, Executive Vice-President, CBC. “CBC now has more than eight million subscribers to our video channels on YouTube and this new audio streaming partnership will expand the reach of our world-class slate of original podcasts, helping us connect with new audiences in Canada and around the globe.”

YouTube Canada’s Strategic Partner Lead for News, Stephanie Wilson Chapin, commented: “Podcasters have been leveraging YouTube’s reach for quite some time. In fact, a good portion of the more than one billion hours watched per day on YouTube is podcasting content from creators, artists, and others looking to share their unique perspectives. We are very excited about partnering with CBC to continue the growth we’ve seen in this area over the last few years, and look forward to expanding our relationship with them in the future.”
