Abstract
Canadian Marconi's CFCF was a focal point in Canadian broadcasting history. American student's have a sense of RCA's historical role in U.S. telecommu nications, but,know little of the Canadian Marconi legacy. The Canadian Mar coni Corporation was like RCA in the United States. It,grew with technologi cal advances, developed around established legal limitations, and was shape d by its community. It was influential in the Canadian system, the CTV priv ate Canadian network, and RTNDA-Canada. CFCF truly stands out in Canadian b roadcast history.
