However, this was never used as an official logo for CBC Television.]] [[File:CBC Logo 1974-1986.svg|thumb|150px|Used from 1974 to 1986]] CBC Television provides a complete 24-hour network schedule of news, sports, entertainment, and children's programming; in most cases, it feeds the same programming at the exact local times nationwide, except to the [[Newfoundland Time Zone]], where programs air 30 minutes "late". On October 9, 2006, at 6:00 a.m., the network switched to a 24-hour schedule, becoming one of the last major English-language broadcasters to transition to such a schedule. Most CBC-owned stations previously [[Sign-off|signed off]] the air during the early morning hours (typically from 1:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.). Instead of the [[infomercial]]s aired by most private stations, or a simulcast of [[CBC News Network]] in the style of [[BBC One]]'s nightly simulcast of [[BBC News (TV channel)|BBC News Channel]], the CBC uses the time to air repeats, including local news, primetime series, films and other programming from the CBC library.<ref>{{Cite news |date=July 15, 2006 |title=CBC TV's 2006-2007 Schedule |publisher=Broadcaster: Canada's Communications Magazine |agency=Daily News |url=http://www.broadcastermagazine.com/news/cbc-tv-s-2006-2007-schedule/1000053594/?&er=NA |url-status=dead |access-date=December 21, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222090826/http://www.broadcastermagazine.com/news/cbc-tv-s-2006-2007-schedule/1000053594/?&er=NA |archive-date=December 22, 2015}}</ref> Its French counterpart, [[ICI Radio-Canada Télé]], which continued to sign off every night for several years after that, now broadcasts a simulcast of its sister news network [[Ici RDI]] after regular programming ends for the night until the next programming day begins. While historically there has been room for regional differences in the schedule, as there is today (see "Stations", below), for CBC-owned stations, funding has decreased to the point that most of these stations no longer broadcast any significant local programming beyond local newscasts and an edition of the summer regional documentary series ''[[Absolutely Canadian]]''.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080209215350/http://www.friends.ca/News/Friends_News/archives/articles06200508.asp June 20, 2005 - CBC bets on drama, Global pushes comedy by Sean Davidson]</ref> Until 1998, the network carried a variety of American programs in addition to its core Canadian programming, directly competing with private Canadian broadcasters such as [[CTV Television Network|CTV]] and [[Global Television Network|Global]]. Since then, it has restricted itself to Canadian programs, a handful of British programs, and a few American films and off-network repeats. Since this change, the CBC has sometimes struggled to maintain ratings comparable to those it achieved before 1995, although it has seen somewhat of a ratings resurgence in recent years. In the 2007–08 season, popular series such as ''[[Little Mosque on the Prairie]]'' and ''[[The Border (TV series)|The Border]]'' helped the network achieve its strongest ratings performance in over half a decade.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120307122205/http://www.channelcanada.com/Article2135.html CBC Television Announces Returning Shows for 2008-2009], Channel Canada, March 8, 2008.</ref> [[File:Cbctv.svg|thumb|upright=0.7|Logo used by CBC Television from 2001 to 2009. Previous variants of the logo retained the CBC logo, but the text was in a different font.]] In 2002, CBC Television and [[CBC News Network]] became the first broadcasters in Canada that are required to provide [[closed captioning]] for all of their programming. On those networks, only outside commercials need not be captioned, though most of them are aired with captions. All shows, bumpers, billboards, [[Promo (media)|promos]] and other internal programming must be captioned. The requirement stems from a human rights complaint filed by deaf lawyer Henry Vlug,<ref>{{Cite web |title=A victory for the deaf and hearing impaired |url=http://www.caj.ca/mediamag/winter2001/lastword.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080315200147/http://www.caj.ca/mediamag/winter2001/lastword.html |archive-date=March 15, 2008}}</ref> which was settled in 2002.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20060105042938/http://www.chrc-ccdp.ca/media_room/news_releases-en.asp?id=247&content_type=2 Canadian Human Rights Commission :: Home :: Resources :: News Room]</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
