The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) was set up in the 1930s in response to the growing influence of American radio. It operates two national TV channels and TV and radio services for indigenous people in the north. The broadcasting regulator rules that quotas of Canadian material must be carried by TV and radio stations. Outlets "are generally free of pressure from politicians, political parties, and political movements", Reporters Without Borders said in 2022. There are 33.3 million active users of social media (We Are Social, 2022).
