French
The CBC (better known in French as la Société Radio-Canada, or colloquially simply Radio-Canada) also operates three French language radio networks, each of which has a similar programming focus to one of the corporation's English-language radio networks.
Structurally, the French-language radio operations are managed as part of the CBC's overall French-language services division, and therefore have limited ties to the English-language radio networks, which are structured similarly (i.e., there is no overall "CBC Radio" division responsible for both English and French radio).
- Première Chaîne - News and information.
- Espace musique - Music, arts and culture.
- Bande à part - Youth-oriented programming on Internet and Sirius, although some content continues to air as weekend programming on Espace musique.

“But as some silly young men returning from France affect a broken English, to be thought perfect in the French language; so his Lordship, I think, to seem a perfect understander of the unintelligible language of the Schoolmen, pretends an ignorance of his mother-tongue. He talks here of command and counsel as if he were no Englishman, nor knew any difference between their significations.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
