On March 25, Canada’s public broadcaster will launch MUSIC DAY ON CBC, an all-day celebration of Canadian music across all platforms leading up to the live broadcast of the 2018 JUNO Awards. Featuring special programming across television, radio and online, MUSIC DAY ON CBC will become an annual event and is part of CBC MUSIC’s extensive JUNO 365 content, which will shine a spotlight on homegrown music all year. MUSIC DAY ON CBC will culminate with the first-ever live broadcast of the JUNO Awards in all time zones across Canada starting at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET on CBC. In another first, the awards will also be broadcast on both CBC Radio networks and livestream globally at cbcmusic.ca/junos.
“The JUNOS have come back to Canada’s public broadcaster and we couldn’t be happier to have them on CBC,” said Heather Conway, executive vice-president, English Services, CBC. “Music reflects who we are as a people. As the home of Canadian music, CBC’s support goes well beyond the awards broadcast. Our efforts continue throughout the year. And this year we are introducing Music Day on CBC March 25 across all platforms. It’s just one initiative that reflects our deep commitment to Canadian music and artists.”
Leading up to March 25, CBC will keep the focus on Canadian music throughout JUNO Week with special events in Vancouver in partnership with The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) including q LIVE at the JUNOS with Tom Power, The JUNO Cup presented by CBC Sports and Junior JUNOS presented with CBC Kids.
