The CBC and Radio-Canada channel signals can also be obtained free of charge, [[Over the air broadcasting|over-the-air]], through antenna receivers in Canada's largest markets as well as in some border states along the [[Canada–United States border|Canada–U.S. border]]; however, CBC is not obtainable as a "[[free-to-air]]" (FTA) channel on FTA satellites. === Caribbean === {{Unreferenced section|date=April 2021}} Several [[Caribbean Countries]] carry feeds of CBC TV, including in: * [[Bahamas]], on the coral wave (Cable Bahamas) television system in the Northern Bahamas (Channel 8). * [[Barbados]], **on the [[Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation]]-owned cable system ''[[Multi-Choice TV]]'' (Channel 703); and **on the [[Columbus Communications]]-owned cable system ''[[FLOW Barbados]]'' (Channel 132). * [[Bermuda]], on the CableVision digital cable service. * [[Grenada]], carried on [[Columbus Communications]]-owned cable system [[Flow (brand)|''FLOW'' ''Grenada'']]. * [[Jamaica]], distributed in areas served by ''[[FLOW Jamaica]]''. * [[Trinidad and Tobago]], on the [[Columbus Communications]] Trinidad Ltd.

CBC television channels are available on cable systems located near the Canada–U.S. border. For example, [[CBET-DT|CBET]] [[Windsor, Ontario|Windsor]] is available on cable systems in the Detroit, Michigan, and [[Toledo, Ohio]], areas; much of the rest of the state of Michigan receives [[CBMT-DT|CBMT Montreal]] on cable. [[CBUT-DT|CBUT]] [[Vancouver]] is broadcast on [[Comcast]] in the Seattle area. At night, the AM radio transmissions of both CBC and Radio-Canada services can be received over much of the northern portion of the United States, from stations such as [[CBW (AM)|CBW]] in [[Winnipeg]], [[CBK (AM)|CBK]] in [[Saskatchewan]], and [[CJBC (AM)|CJBC]] in [[Toronto]].{{Citation needed|date=April 2021}} On September 11, 2001, several American broadcasters without their own news operations, including [[C-SPAN]], carried the CBC's coverage of the [[September 11 attacks]] in New York City and [[Washington, D.C.]] In the days after September 11, C-SPAN carried CBC's nightly newscast, ''[[The National (CBC)|The National]]'', anchored by [[Peter Mansbridge]]. The quality of this coverage was recognised specifically by the [[Canadian Journalism Foundation]]; editor-in-chief [[Tony Burman]] later accepted the Excellence in Journalism Award (2004), for "rigorous professional practice, accuracy, originality and public accountability", on behalf of the service.{{Citation needed|date=April 2021}} C-SPAN has also carried CBC's coverage of major events affecting Canadians, including: [[Canadian federal election]]s, key proceedings in [[Parliament of Canada]], Six days in September 2000 that marked the [[death and state funeral of Pierre Elliott Trudeau]], the [[2003 North America blackout|power outage crisis]] in summer 2003, [[U.S. presidential election]]s (e.g. in [[2004 U.S. presidential election|2004]], C-SPAN picked up ''The National'' the day after the election for the view from Canadians), state visits and official visits of [[President of United States|American presidents]] to Canada, and [[First inauguration of Barack Obama|Barack Obama inauguration]] in 2009.{{Citation needed|date=April 2021}} Several [[PBS]] stations also air some CBC programming. However, these programs are syndicated by independent distributors, and are not governed by the PBS "common carriage" policy. Other American broadcast networks sometimes air CBC reports, especially for Canadian events of international significance. For example, in the early hours after the [[Swissair Flight 111]] disaster, [[CNN]] aired CBC's live coverage of the event. Also in the late 1990s, [[CNN Headline News]] aired a few CBC reports of events that were not significant outside Canada.{{Citation needed|date=April 2021}} ==== Newsworld International and Trio ==== {{Unreferenced section|date=April 2021}} From 1994 to 2000, the CBC, in a venture with [[Power Corporation of Canada|Power Broadcasting]] (former owner of [[CKWS-TV|CKWS]] in [[Kingston, Ontario|Kingston]]), jointly owned two networks: # [[Newsworld International]] (NWI), an American cable channel that rebroadcast much of the programming of CBC Newsworld (now known as [[CBC News Network]]). # [[Trio channel|Trio]], an arts and entertainment channel. In 2000, the CBC and Power Broadcasting sold these channels to [[Barry Diller]]'s [[USA Networks]]. Diller's company was later acquired by [[Vivendi Universal]], which in turn was partially acquired by [[NBC]] to form [[NBCUniversal]]. NBCUniversal still owns the Trio brand, which no longer has any association with the CBC (and became an Internet-only broadband channel which was later folded into [[Bravo (U.S. TV channel)|Bravo]].) The channel was shut down and was replaced with the NBCUniversal channel Sleuth (later known as [[Cloo]]). However, the CBC continued to program NWI, with much of its programming simulcast on the domestic Newsworld service. In late 2004, as a result of a further change in NWI's ownership to the [[INdTV]] consortium (including [[Joel Hyatt]] and former [[Vice-President of the United States|U.S. Vice-President]] [[Al Gore]]), NWI ceased airing CBC programming on August 1, 2005, when it became [[Current TV]]. Current later folded and became [[Al Jazeera America]] on August 20, 2013. === International broadcast of radio programs === {{Unreferenced section|date=April 2021}} Some CBC Radio One programs, such as ''[[Definitely Not the Opera]]'', ''[[WireTap]]'', ''[[Q (radio show)|Q]]'', and ''[[As It Happens]]'', also air on some stations associated with [[American Public Media]] or [[Public Radio International]]. CBC Radio One (with a special feed that exclusively contains CBC-produced content and no regional programs) and Ici Radio-Canada Première (a simulcast of its Montreal flagship [[CBF-FM]]) are available to [[Sirius XM Holdings|SiriusXM]] subscribers in the United States.
