Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is a national public broadcaster in Canada which was founded on October 1, 1936. The CBC operates networks in English and French and provides radio, television, online content and services across the country. Many Canadians are familiar with the CBC because it is one of the country's most-watched networks. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, or CBC, is the oldest broadcasting network in Canada. It is a huge network of television and radio networks that make up the vast majority of programming that airs in Canada. Even if you are already familiar with CBC, you might be less familiar with CBC's news site, CBC.ca/news. Furthermore, did you know that within CBC's news site lives a rich collection of regularly published articles that pertain specifically to entertainment news?

The CBC website has one of the best entertainment news sites on the web. It is well written, vigilantly updated, and user-friendly. It can be easy to overlook in lieu of all the actual television and radio content that the CBC provides, but once you do stumble upon CBC Entertainment News, you may find that you have no need to visit another entertainment news site again.

If you are looking for up-to-date news on films, TV shows, and literature, CBC will have plenty to read. Reviews and op-eds about the latest movies and shows in the industry will be covered along with news on upcoming films and actors. CBC Entertainment News does a great job of executing an entertainment news site, even if it is quieter than some of its competitors.

History

The first time that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) made a bilingual (English and French) news broadcast, the year was 1936. And it became inaugurated during World War II, on January 1st, 1941. Therefore, from its very origins, CBC News was tasked with delivering some of the most historically important and journalistically rigorous broadcasts. This led CBC News to earn a reputation globally as one of the few national news outlets with outstanding journalistic integrity, year after year. This mentality shifted from radio to television to the internet, finally, in 1996, when CBC launched its first website, Newsworld Online. The site we know of today, however, did not go live until 2 years later, in 1998. And in 2009, CBC rolled all of its news outlets into one super site, merging CBC Television News, Radio News, and Digital News into a more centralized structure.

In 2013, CBC News launched its Aboriginal site, which is based out of Winnipeg. In 2016, the CBC renamed the site CBC Indigenous. In 2017, the CBC launched its flagship newscast, The National. The National features 4 main co-anchors based in Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver.

The journalistic rigor that has won CBC numerous national and international media awards (including several International Emmys, the Prix Italia, Monte Carlo, Gabriel, and the Canadian Association of Journalists and RTDNA awards) is seen in their entertainment news as well - resulting in some of the highest-quality entertainment journalism that I have ever had the pleasure to read.

Design

CBC Entertainment News is not like that. The first thing that really caught my eye about CBC Entertainment News was how well designed it is. In fact, it is more professional than any other entertainment news site that I have ever visited. This is, frankly, a breath of fresh air for me. Entertainment news sites have a bad habit of being juvenile, in my opinion. They get caught up in the glitz and glam of celebrity and lose sight of the fact that, regardless of topic, these stories are still news at the end of the day. ABC Entertainment News is not like that. Fortunately, though, CBC Entertainment News maintains the same professionalism and seriousness in its entertainment department as it has in its other departments. The design remains unchanged throughout the whole site, which makes it more user-friendly and mature compared with other entertainment publications.

A tasteful and nationalistic white and red theme is present with bursts of color in subdued urgency and pride. The splashes of deep Canadian red, however, are sparse and, thus, create a very minimalistic look. Beyond the aesthetics of it, though, CBC Entertainment News is very cleanly arranged and organized. You will find one main featured story appearing with an extra-large thumbnail toward the top center of the home page, leading to a stack of smaller columns, arranged 2 by 2, vertically down to the bottom.

If you would like to access any other section of CBC News, there is a menu bar that is convenient and easy to navigate. You can select either Top Stories, Local, The National, Opinion, World, Politics, or Indigenous. This way the news should be simple and easily accessible.

Content

I love that CBC Entertainment News stories are not overly base or superficial - this is often the case with tabloid-style speculation on who's going to be wearing what on the red carpet. The articles on CBC are real journalism, even if the topic is entertainment as opposed to international conflict. Therefore, it can be said that the pieces on CBC Entertainment News are thoughtful, compelling, well-researched, expertly written, and fact-checked. If you want an entertainment news site that does not waste your time with vapidity or trite fluff, you should check outCBC Entertainment News.

Mobile and Desktop Experience

Meanwhile, on the Google Play Store, the CBC News app has an overall rating of 4.3 stars (out of 5) and over 1 thousand individual reviews. I have already gone on and on about how much I adore the CBC in-browser site experience. And I am happy to report that the app offers an equally excellent user experience and design - in fact, it is one of the best news apps currently on the market - at the very least, it is one of the highest-rated. It is available for both iOS and Android, but on the Apple App Store, CBC News has received an average rating of 4.7 stars (out of 5) from 2.1 thousand individual reviews. Meanwhile, on the Google Play Store, the CBC News app has an overall rating of 4.3 stars (out of 5) and over 1 thousand individual reviews.

Pricing and Plans

There is no paywall or subscription fee necessary to view content on CBC Entertainment News. However, this does not mean that the network is without ads. In fact, many of them are easy to avoid with a decent adblocker extension.

Suggestions that I have for CBC Entertainment News

Honestly, I cannot think of a suggestion for CBC Entertainment News that would make it better. The content is excellent, the site is professional and easy to use, and the app is great. There is no need for a premium version because the site already does everything well. If I may be so critical, perhaps a few more accompanying videos with the articles would not have gone amiss!

Conclusion

If you are looking for a site that will report on breaking entertainment news with journalistic integrity, CBC Entertainment News is probably the site you've been searching for. With amazing site design and an app that is free of charge, this site has all the makings for excellence in the entertainment news arena!
