{{see also|CBC News}}
The CBC's flagship newscast, ''[[CBC News: The National|The National]]'', airs Sunday through Fridays at 10:00&nbsp;p.m. local time (except in [[Newfoundland]], where it airs at 10:30&nbsp;p.m.) and Saturdays at 6:00&nbsp;p.m. EST. Until October 2006, CBC [[owned-and-operated station]]s aired a second broadcast of the program at 11:00&nbsp;p.m.; This later broadcast included only the main news portion of the program, and excluded the analysis and documentary segment. This second airing was later replaced with other programming, and as of the 2012-13 television season, was replaced on CBC's major market stations by a half-hour late newscast. There is also a short news update, at most, on late Saturday evenings. During hockey season, this update is usually found during the first intermission of the second game of the doubleheader on ''[[Hockey Night in Canada]]''.

The show also simultaneously broadcasts [[CBC News Network (TV series)|rolling coverage from CBC News Network]] from noon to 1 p.m. local time in most time zones (also from 6 to 7 a.m. in regions where a local [[CBC Radio One]] morning show is not simulcast instead).

In addition to the mentioned late local newscasts, CBC stations in most markets fill early evenings with [[CBC Television local newscasts|local news programs]], generally from 5:00&nbsp;p.m. to 6:30&nbsp;p.m., while most stations also air a single local newscast on weekend evenings (comprising a supper hour broadcast on Saturdays and a late evening newscast on Sundays). Weekly newsmagazine ''[[The Fifth Estate (TV program)|The Fifth Estate]]'' is also a CBC mainstay, as are documentary series such as ''[[Doc Zone]]''.

===Sports===

One of the most popular shows on CBC Television is the weekly Saturday night broadcast of [[National Hockey League|NHL]] [[Ice hockey|hockey]] games, ''[[Hockey Night in Canada]]''. It has been televised by the network since 1952. During the NHL lock-out and subsequent cancellation of the 2004–05 hockey season, the CBC instead aired various recent and classic films, branded as ''Movie Night in Canada'', on Saturday nights. Many cultural groups criticized this and suggested the CBC air games from minor hockey leagues; the CBC responded that most such broadcast rights were already held by other groups, but it did base each ''Movie Night'' broadcast from a different Canadian hockey venue. Other than hockey, [[CBC Sports]] properties included [[Toronto Raptors]] basketball, [[Toronto FC]] soccer,<ref>{{Cite news |title=Toronto FC: CBC TV Broadcast Schedule – CBC Sports Online |url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/torontofc-schedule.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080730115047/http://www.cbc.ca/sports/torontofc-schedule.html |archive-date=July 30, 2008}}</ref> and various other amateur and professional events.

The telecast of the [[CBC Olympic broadcasts|Olympics]] including the Summer and Winter Olympic Games on Canadian television on CBC's broadcast started in 1956. It has the rights to broadcast the Olympic Games until 2024.<ref>{{Cite news |title=CBC extends Olympic rights through 2024 |url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/generic/cbc-olympic-rights-beijing-tokyo-1.3281050 |access-date=May 24, 2018}}</ref>

It was also the exclusive carrier of [[Canadian Curling Association]] events during the 2004–05 season. Due to disappointing results and fan outrage over many draws being carried on CBC Country Canada (now called [[Cottage Life (TV channel)|Cottage Life]]), the association tried to cancel its multiyear deal with the CBC signed in 2004. After the CBC threatened legal action, both sides eventually came to an agreement under which early-round rights reverted to [[The Sports Network|TSN]]. On June 15, 2006, the CCA announced that TSN would obtain exclusive rights to curling broadcasts in Canada as of the 2008–09 season,<ref>{{Cite web |title=TSN et l'Association canadienne de curling signent une entente de télédiffusion sans précédent jusqu'en 2014 |url=http://www.curling.ca/about_the_cca/press_releases/press_release.asp?id=1224102758 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061013002608/http://www.curling.ca/about_the_cca/press_releases/press_release.asp?id=1224102758 |archive-date=October 13, 2006 |language=fr}}</ref> shutting the CBC out of the championship weekend for the first time in 40-plus years.

CBC Sports suffered another major blow when it was announced that after the 2007 season, the [[Canadian Football League|CFL]] regular season games and the [[Grey Cup]] would be moving to TSN, ending the CBC's tenure with the CFL. It has been stated that the CFL was not happy with the CBC's lacklustre production during the CBC's 2005 union lock-out, which forced the network to use CBC management to work the behind-the-scenes telecast and use stadium public address announcers in place of their regular announcer crew.<ref>[https://www.cfl.ca/index.php?module=newser&func=display&topicnum=&nid=14384&writer=0 CFL.ca Network :: Official site of the Canadian Football League]</ref>

On June 23, 2007, the network aired the first game in a two-year deal to broadcast [[Toronto Blue Jays]] games;<ref>{{Cite news |title=2008 Broadcast Schedule |work=CBC News |url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/baseball/broadcast-schedule.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105125803/http://www.cbc.ca/sports/baseball/broadcast-schedule.html |archive-date=November 5, 2012}}</ref> the contract ended at the end of the 2008 season, and was not renewed.

In August 2007, it was also announced that the CBC would broadcast [[National Basketball Association]] games involving the [[Toronto Raptors]], starting with the [[2007–08 NBA season]], through at least 2009–10; the CBC would carry 10 games for the 2007–08 and 20 games for the 2008–09 and 2009–10 seasons.<ref name="CBCRaptor">{{Cite news |date=August 1, 2007 |title=CBC Sports signs broadcast deal with Raptors |work=CBC News |url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/basketball/cbc-sports-signs-broadcast-deal-with-raptors-1.648715 |access-date=October 3, 2007}}</ref>

In November 2013, the CBC lost its rights to the NHL to [[Rogers Communications]], under a 12-year deal beginning in the [[2014–15 NHL season]]. The CBC concurrently announced a sub-licensing agreement with Rogers, under which it would supply [[NHL on Sportsnet|Sportsnet]]-produced ''Hockey Night in Canada'' broadcasts to CBC Television at no charge; all advertising during the broadcasts would be sold by Rogers, but the CBC would be provided with advertising time for its own programs.<ref name="gandm-howcbclost">{{cite news |last1=Shoalts |first1=David |title=Hockey Night in Canada: How CBC lost it all |website=The Globe and Mail |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/hockey-night-in-canada-how-cbc-lost-it-all/article21072643/ |access-date=11 October 2014}}</ref> Officially, the broadcasts are carried by a [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission|CRTC]]-licensed part-time network operated by Rogers and affiliated with all CBC Television stations. This was required to formally assign responsibility for the broadcasts to Rogers; on-air, the telecasts otherwise use CBC branding and continuity.<ref>{{Cite web |date=April 17, 2015 |title=Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2015-154: Rogers Media Inc. - Television network licence |url=http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2015/2015-154.htm |access-date=July 25, 2015 |agency=[[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission]]}}</ref>

As a result of funding reductions from the federal government<!-- see 2012 Canadian federal budget --> and decreased revenues, in April 2014, the CBC announced it would no longer bid for professional sport broadcasting rights.<ref>{{Cite news |date=April 10, 2014 |title=CBC to cut 657 jobs, will no longer compete for professional sports rights |publisher=CBC News |url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/cbc-to-cut-657-jobs-will-no-longer-compete-for-professional-sports-rights-1.2605504 |access-date=April 10, 2014}}</ref>

===Entertainment===
Among CBC Television's best-known primetime series are comedy series ''[[Rick Mercer Report]]'' (2004–18), ''[[This Hour Has 22 Minutes]]'' (since 1993) and ''[[Little Mosque on the Prairie]]'' (2007–12), and dramas such as ''[[The Tudors]]'' (2007–10), ''[[Heartland (Canadian TV series)|Heartland]]'' (since 2007) and ''[[Intelligence (Canadian TV series)|Intelligence]]'' (2006–07). In recent years, British series such as ''[[Coronation Street]]'' and ''[[Doctor Who]]'' have been given greater prominence. As noted above, it now carries very little American programming apart from some syndicated daytime shows.

In 2006, the CBC announced radical changes to its primetime line-up, including the following new series to premiere that fall:
* ''[[Dragons' Den (Canada)|Dragons' Den]]'' (reality)
* ''[[Intelligence (Canadian TV series)|Intelligence]]'' (drama; 2006–07)
* ''[[Rumours (TV series)|Rumours]]'' (comedy; 2006–07)
* ''[[Underdogs (TV series)|Underdogs]]'' (a spinoff of ''[[Marketplace (Canadian TV program)|Marketplace]]'')
* ''[[Jozi-H]]'' (medical drama; a Canadian-South African co-production; 2006–07)
* ''[[The One: Making a Music Star]]'' (a Canadian version of the American reality show simulcast by CBC in July 2006; Canadian series was not included on the schedule)
* ''[[72 Hours: True Crime]]'' (crime documentary series; aired in "core" of primetime for first time; 2004–07)
* Repeats of ''[[The Hour (Canadian TV series)|The Hour]]'' on the main CBC network, from 2005 to 2014.

Many were surprised by these changes to the CBC schedule, which were apparently intended to attract a younger audience to the network; some suggested they might alienate the core CBC viewership. Another note of criticism was made when the network decided to move ''[[CBC News: The National|The National]]'' in some time zones to simulcast the American version of ''The One'' over the summer. This later became a moot point, as ''The One'' was taken off the air after two weeks after extremely low American and Canadian ratings, and the newscast resumed its regular schedule.

In 2006, daytime programming was also revamped. While there were still repeats of CBC and foreign series, new talk shows such as ''[[The Gill Deacon Show]]'' (2006–07) and the regional franchise ''[[Living (2007 TV program)|Living]]'' (2007–09) were aired. ''The Gill Deacon Show'' was cancelled after just seven months, and replaced with another talk show, ''[[Steven and Chris]]'' from 2008 to 2015 (''Steven and Chris'' is also shown on the [[Live Well Network]] in the United States); ''Living'' was cancelled in August 2009.

On January 9, 2007, the CBC began airing a highly publicized new series called ''[[Little Mosque on the Prairie]]'' (2007–12), a comedy about a [[Muslim]] family living in rural [[Saskatchewan]]. The series garnered strong ratings as well as international media attention, for most of its five year run. It was also announced that Martha Stewart's daytime show would be added to the CBC daytime line-up, with the nighttime ''[[Wheel of Fortune (U.S. game show)|Wheel of Fortune]]'' and ''[[Jeopardy!]]'' following in September 2008 (with a few edits to limit the amount of U.S. advertising).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Hockey soap opera, immigration police drama on CBC's winter schedule |url=http://jam.canoe.ca/Television/2007/11/20/4671108-cp.html |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://archive.today/20070623032604/http://jam.canoe.ca/Television/2007/11/20/4671108-cp.html |archive-date=June 23, 2007}}</ref>

In January 2008, CBC Television launched the drama series ''[[The Border (TV series)|The Border]]'' (2008–10), ''[[MVP (TV series)|MVP]]'' (2008) and ''[[jPod (TV series)|jPod]]'' (2008), the reality series ''[[The Week The Women Went]]'' (2008–09) and the comedy ''[[Sophie (TV series)|Sophie]]'' from 2008 to 2009. Only ''The Border'' and ''Sophie'' were renewed for a second season in the fall of 2008. The new series ''[[Being Erica]]'' (2009–10) and the short-lived ''[[Wild Roses (TV series)|Wild Roses]]'' (2009) began airing in January 2009.

Beginning in 2005, the CBC has contributed production funds for the [[BBC Wales]] revival of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', for which it received a special credit at the end of each episode. This arrangement continued until the end of fourth season, broadcast in 2008. The CBC similarly contributed to the first season of the spin-off series, ''[[Torchwood]]''.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090212225446/http://www.c21media.net/news/detail.asp?area=4&article=29877 C21Media:]</ref> More recently, the network has also begun picking up Canadian rights to some Australian series, including the drama series ''[[Janet King (TV series)|Janet King]]''<ref>"Janet King Sold to Canada's CBC". ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'', May 29, 2014.</ref> and ''[[Love Child (TV series)|Love Child]]'',<ref name="stacks">[http://www.680news.com/2015/05/28/cbc-tv-stacks-fall-and-winter-lineups-with-british-aussie-fare/ "CBC-TV stacks fall and winter lineups with British, Aussie fare"]. [[CFTR (AM)|680 News]], May 28, 2015.</ref> and the comedy-drama series ''[[Please Like Me]]''.<ref name=stacks/>

In 2015, CBC Television premiered [[Dan Levy (Canadian actor)|Dan]] and [[Eugene Levy]]'s sitcom ''[[Schitt's Creek]]''; the series began to achieve critical acclaim after it was acquired by the streaming service [[Netflix]]; In 2020 following its final season, ''Schitt's Creek'' won all seven comedy awards at the [[72nd Primetime Emmy Awards]], becoming the first comedy or drama to sweep all seven major awards in their respective genre at the Primetime Emmys.<ref name="vulture2">{{Cite web |last=Adalain |first=Josef |date=January 16, 2019 |title=The Unlikely Rise of Schitt's Creek |url=https://www.vulture.com/2019/01/schitts-creek-netflix-pop-success-story.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190529140541/https://www.vulture.com/2019/01/schitts-creek-netflix-pop-success-story.html |archive-date=May 29, 2019 |access-date=July 6, 2019 |website=vulture.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-09-20 |title=Schitt’s Creek: Everything You Need to Know About the Emmys’ Favorite Comedy |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/09/schitts-creek-emmys-when-final-season-netflix |access-date=2023-07-26 |website=Vanity Fair |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Bilefsky |first=Dan |date=September 21, 2020 |title=Canadians Rejoice as 'Schitt's Creek' Sweeps Emmy Awards |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/21/world/canada/schitts-creek-emmys.html |url-status=live |access-date=September 28, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210203182032/https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/21/world/canada/schitts-creek-emmys.html |archive-date=February 3, 2021}}</ref>
