CBC Radio 3 is a radio network that consists of two parts devoted to Canadian arts and music: a radio service which is available on Sirius XM Satellite Radio and streaming audio, and several daily and weekly podcasts from the CBC Radio 3 website. The audio stream is available from both CBC Music〔("CBC digital music service launched" ). CBC News, February 13, 2012.〕 and from iTunes Radio. The network evolved out of programming on CBC Radio 2, which also simulcasted the satellite network on Saturday and Sunday nights from its debut in December 2005 until March 17, 2007. Radio 3 is no longer heard on terrestrial radio, but is still available through its satellite radio and Internet operations. The French-language equivalent to CBC Radio 3 was Bande à part. The network plays a relatively freeform mix of indie music, including rock, pop, alternative hip hop, folk, country and electronic music. An article on Nerve.com, published in October 2006, called CBC Radio 3 "possibly the world's best radio station".〔Will Doig, ("Bouncing Off the Satellites" ), nerve.com, October 10, 2006.〕 CBC Radio 3 was nominated for a Webby Award in 2007 and previously won the award in 2003. The network's unofficial mascot is Bucky, a cartoon creature with the body of a goose and the head of a deer. Bucky is primarily seen in the introduction to the network's weekly ''R3TV'' video podcast, and also lends his name to the network's annual year-end music awards. ==Origins== Operated by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Radio 3 had its genesis in a late-1990s proposal to launch a radio network devoted to youth culture, comparable to BBC Radio One and Australia's Triple J.〔("CBC Radio 3: the definitive timeline" ). CBC Music'', March 27, 2015.〕 The network, which would complement CBC Radio One and CBC Radio 2, would build on existing CBC Radio programming such as ''Night Lines'', ''Brave New Waves'' and ''Realtime''. The original plan was codenamed "Clubhouse".〔 The CBC filed an application with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to launch the network in 1998,〔"CBC Radio 3 dead, says newspaper". ''Edmonton Journal'', November 26, 1999.〕 but later asked the CRTC to defer consideration of its application.〔 Although technically predating the application, one important step in the development of what would become Radio 3 did take place in 1997, when ''Nightlines'' and ''Realtime'' were merged into the new program ''RadioSonic'', cohosted by former ''Nightlines'' host David Wisdom and former ''Realtime'' host Leora Kornfeld. A slightly different Radio 3 was launched in 2000 as a converged webcasting project based in Vancouver,〔"Hottest music now on cool web radio". ''The Province'', January 17, 2001.〕 with its own servers and managed by CBC Radio.〔 The team consisted of Susan Englebert,〔Fiona Morrow, ("Obituary: Susan Englebert, Broadcaster 1946–2006 ), ''The Globe and Mail'', November 15, 2006.〕 Robert Ouimet,〔 Dave Tonner, Loc Dao, Rob McLaughlin and other partners. CBC Radio 3 initially launched separate sites 120 Seconds,〔 New Music Canada〔 and Just Concerts〔 through a collaboration between CBC Radio, media design company Dotaku Group, and technology company Internet Edge. Each provided audio, video and Flash content as media-on-demand streaming for site users. 120 Seconds was a directory of user and artist-created video and documentary projects, New Music Canada was composed entirely of user-created and uploaded music by Canadian independent pop, rock, electronic and hip hop musicians, and Just Concerts included exclusive recordings of live performances by independent artists, both regular concert performances and Radio 3 studio sessions. The first musician to create an artist profile on the site was rapper Classified.〔 Roots Music Canada was later added to the trio of websites, and offered songs uploaded by country and folk musicians. In 2001, Grant Lawrence became the host of ''RadioSonic''.〔 In late 2002, the group, led by Robert Ouimet and Rob McLaughlin, created CBCRadio3.com, a full-screen online magazine which profiled Canadian music, literature and visual arts, accompanied by a set musical playlist which changed with each "issue".〔"CBC's new Radio 3 goes to the Net". ''The Province'', February 9, 2003.〕 The site also served as a portal to the other content sites. The site was recognized internationally, winning three Webby Awards, including People's Voice Award for Best Broadband site, in 2003.〔"The Webby Awards". ''The Telegram'', June 13, 2003.〕 The site won over 20 other awards, including the Art Director's Club, New York Festival Awards〔 and Communication Arts Awards, as well as being published in several books. By this time, the site was averaging 5.5 million page views per month.〔"Pump up the volume, hue and brightness". ''Toronto Star'', August 23, 2003.〕 In 2003, ''RadioSonic'' was integrated into the Radio 3 project, and was renamed ''CBC Radio 3'' to reflect the change.〔"Indie music and beyond". ''The Globe and Mail'', January 19, 2004.〕 With new host Alexis Mazurin, the program featured music and performances from the Radio 3 website.〔 On June 2, 2005, CBC Radio 3 also launched a weekly podcast, hosted by Grant Lawrence.〔"Choice of listening gets wider for iPod owners". ''Vancouver Sun'', June 11, 2005.〕 The hour-long podcast, which has also aired as a program on the satellite radio network, has ranked as the most downloaded Canadian podcast on the Internet, with an estimated 125,000 weekly listeners in 2006.〔(Radio 3 Canada’s most popular podcast – CBC podcast host Lawrence introduces new Canadian music ), ''UWO Gazette'', November 9, 2006.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CBC Radio 3」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
