Why are the English and French sites different?
CBC and Radio-Canada have separate archival facilities housing material from their respective radio and television programs. (CBC’s national English Archives are mostly held in Toronto, while those of Radio-Canada are mainly in Montreal. There are also several regional archives.) Web site staff in Toronto and Montreal work together to select Topics, then select Clips from their individual archives and write copy to accompany them. As a result, most Topics appear on both sites and cover roughly the same material, but Clips and text will differ.
