- On Thursday, CBC/Radio-Canada announced plans to expand its English and French news divisions with five new international bureaus in Beijing, Jerusalem, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and a location in Europe over the next two years.
- The public broadcaster currently operates seven permanent bureaus in cities including Paris, London, and Washington, and officials confirmed plans to establish a permanent presence in Africa in the near future.
