As Canadians face the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic and the quickly changing situation, CBC/Radio-Canada and the country's TV distributors want to ensure more Canadians have access to the latest information. We are collaborating to make the public broadcaster's 24-hour news channels, CBC News Network and ICI RDI, more widely available.

As of March 14, CBC News Network is now available to all subscribers on Bell TV, Shaw, and Cogeco. It is also now accessible on CBC Gem, the CBC News app, and CBC.ca.

The same is true for ICI RDI, which is available to all subscribers on Bell TV, Vidéotron and Cogeco. It is also accessible online at ici.radio-canada.ca/rdi and via the Radio-Canada Info app.

Canadians depend on their public broadcaster as a trusted source of news. We are grateful to the distributors for offering CBC News Network and ICI RDI to more Canadians.
