Canadian Communications Foundation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Canadian Communications Foundation ( CCF ) was a Canadian nonprofit organization which documented the history of broadcasting in Canada , particularly radio and television networks, programs and broadcasters. The organization was established in 1967 and announced that it would begin wrapping up its work in 2023. [1] Since 1995, the organization distributed its collection via its website.

The CCF was established in 1967 by the Canadian Association of Broadcasters . Its mission: to "commemorate throughout Canada the development of electronic communications". [2] By 2020, the foundation started to wind down as its original mission was largely accomplished. The foundation's collected materials included interviews with broadcasters who had helped shape Canada's broadcast industry, a history of television stations , a Hall of Fame for broadcasters , and a collection of research articles on broadcasting in Canada.
