==== Long-range radio plan ====
The CBC's '''long-range radio plan''' ('''LRRP''') was developed by the [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission]] (CRTC) in collaboration with the CBC to identify those [[FM broadcasting|FM]] frequencies that would likely be required to deliver the CBC's radio services to the maximum number of Canadians. The CBC is not subject to any conditions or expectations concerning its LRRP. The CBC noted that Première Chaîne (now [[Ici Radio-Canada Première]]) and [[CBC Radio One]] were available to about 99% of the Canadian population. The CBC stated that it plans to maintain its radio service but has no plans to grow the coverage area. It described the LRRP as a planning vehicle and indicated that it would no longer use it. Given reductions in public funding to the CBC and given that Première Chaîne and Radio One are available to the vast majority of Canadians, the Commission considers that the CBC's plan to maintain current coverage and discontinue the LRRP is reasonable. Accordingly, the Commission accepted the CBC's proposal to discontinue the LRRP.<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2013/2013-263.htm#bm275 Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2013-263] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150304165243/http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2013/2013-263.htm#bm275 |date=March 4, 2015 }}, Availability of radio service, ''CRTC'', May 28, 2013</ref>
