Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Music Library : Crown corporation created in 1936 by the Broadcasting Act to succeed the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission (1932). In the 1940s, the producers of drama programs, a very popular genre at the time on the radio, would use the services of composers to create their incidental music. While less frequent since the advent of television, the practice of commissioning works still exists at the CBC.
