Broadcasting Corporation of Newfoundland
Public broadcaster of the Dominion of Newfoundland / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with the extant private-sector Newfoundland Broadcasting Company Ltd., owner of CJON-DT and CHOZ-FM.
The Broadcasting Corporation of Newfoundland (BCN) was the government-owned public radio service of the dominion of Newfoundland.[1] Following Newfoundland's admission as a province of Canada in 1949, the BCN was absorbed into the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and its three main AM radio transmitters remain in operation today as CBC Radio One stations.
