Why is Curio a pay service when it is owned by CBC & Radio-Canada?

Curio is your only source for ad-free CBC/Radio-Canada content. Our programs, regardless of format, are ad-free.

We also offer you long-term access to CBC/Radio-Canada programs. On Radio-Canada.ca and CBC.ca, programs are only available on a short-term basis and are subject to change without notice.

In many cases, we are the only ones to offer commercial versions of programs broadcast on Radio-Canada and CBC.
