Maison Radio-Canada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maison Radio-Canada (sometimes Maison de Radio-Canada) is a skyscraper located in Montreal, constructed in 1973 as a home for all of the CBC's stations in Montreal.
Maison Radio-Canada is the broadcast headquarters of the French-language Radio-Canada radio (French arm of the CBC) and television networks, including La Première Chaîne, Espace Musique, Télévision de Radio-Canada and Réseau de l'Information (RDI).
It is the master control point for all Radio-Canada broadcast services, as the Canadian Broadcasting Centre in Toronto is for English-language services.
Maison Radio-Canada is now once again the home of Radio Canada International, which had been re-located for some years to another building down the street. The street address of Maison Radio-Canada is 1400 René Lévesque Boulevard East.
The analogous facility for CBC's English language networks is the Canadian Broadcasting Centre in Toronto. The CBC's corporate headquarters are located in Ottawa in the CBC Ottawa Broadcast Centre.
