Earlier this month SiriusXM Canada quietly dropped CBC Radio 3 from its programming. “This could dramatically reduce the amount of Canadian independent music created each year, and weaken a concert industry that’s still reeling from COVID losses. Our contract was completed, and SiriusXM has decided to program their own channels going forward,” CBC Music explained in a tweet. “CBC Radio 3 is not your conventional corporate radio,” he explained. Indeed, replacing CBC Radio 3 on channel 162 of SiriuxsFM is Mixtape: North, a station dedicated to Canadian hip hop and R&B.
