The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) has the mandate to inform, enlighten, and amuse; to contribute to the formation of a common national consciousness and identity; to reflect Canada's regional and cultural diversity; and to contribute to the development of Canadian talent and culture. The CBC was created by the Radio Act of 1940 and the Television Act of 1960, which merged the existing government-funded CBC radio network and CBUT television station into one large-scale organization. The CBC operates under a mandate from the federal government, but its funding is provided by both the federal government and its provincial counterparts. The CBC reaches nearly all Canadians -- 95% of households -- with two terrestrial public broadcasting services: Radio Canada and TVA. It also offers information on its website and through social media channels. CBHT Vaudreuil-Hudson, now known as CBUFT Montréal English (CBC Montreal), began operation on September 15, 1952. It is the only local French-language broadcaster in Montreal. The CBC also provides at least one hour of educational programming for children each week called "Sesame Street Canada". This program is not seen on American public television stations because they do not have an equivalent called "Sesame Street America".
