Talk: Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Hello. I found an interesting fact sheet on CBC/Radio-Canada. I think it might be good to incorporate the infos on this page in the article : CBC Fast Facts.

Also, if we are going to list the programming, we will need to list the programming of the French side as well, or if that is too long, split CBC and its "mirror" Radio-Canada in two separate articles. -- Mathieugp 14:43, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I don't really like unproven conjectures. If there is evidence that the CBC is not complying with its requirement to closed-caption 100% of its programming, I'd like to see it. Denelson83 06:32, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Picture placement

This is the original logo of the CBC, used between 1940 and 1958. It features a map of Canada, as well as a lightning bolt design used to symbolize broadcasting.

This logo was designed for the CBC by Hubert Tison in 1966 to mark the CBC's progressing transition from black-and-white to colour television. It was used until all CBC TV programs had successfully switched to colour, at which point the CBC adopted the logo below.

This logo was designed for the CBC by graphic artist Burton Kramer in 1974, and it is the most widely recognized symbol of the corporation. The "C" in the middle stands for Canada, and the radiating parts of the "C" symbolize broadcasting. The logo was officially changed to one colour in 1986.

Why should div tags not be used? How do they mess up the main text? How should the images be prevented from stacking up? Would this table do? Tim Ivorson 16:49, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

The thing is that the "right alignment" has already been specified in the Extended image syntax for those images. Denelson83 20:54, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I still feel a bit in the dark about what is wrong with using divs or tables for placing images. Isn't the stackup undesirable? I have changed the table on this talk page so that the extended image syntax doesn't specify right alignment. Does that help? Tim Ivorson 21:43, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

So the problem is that a div or table makes a little space before it. I couldn't see it before because I was editing the section and not the whole article. Is there a good way to prevent images stackups without this problem? Tim Ivorson 15:20, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)

1940s CBC logo

That 1940s logo is utterly gorgeous. -- — I. Neschek | talk 22:14, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

French Radio-Canada

The French Radio-Canada should not be a redirect to the CBC page. They are two seperate identities, one in English and one in French. Andrew pmk 21:49, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

They do indeed have two separate visible identities, but they're still both parts of the same corporate entity. Denelson83 04:04, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
