3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 is a Canadian digital 3/info/radio" target="_blank">radio station operated by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, which plays a relatively freeform mix of indie rock, indie pop, alternative hip hop, folk, country and electronic music.
The service, which launched in 2005 as a station on Sirius Satellite 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio, evolved out of programming on 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 2 (now 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC Music), which also simulcasted 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 on Saturday and Sunday nights from December 2005 until March 17, 2007. The station was formerly available online from 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC's website and iTunes 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio, but geographical restrictions were in place to prevent access outside of Canada. The French-language equivalent to 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 was Bande à part.
An article on Nerve.com, published in October 2006, called 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 "possibly the world's best 3/info/radio" target="_blank">radio station".
In October 2022, 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 was dropped from SiriusXM, but remains available as a playlist through 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC Listen.




Origins


Operated by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 had its genesis in a late-1990s proposal to launch a 3/info/radio" target="_blank">radio network devoted to youth culture, comparable to BBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 1 and Australia's Triple J. The network, which would complement 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio One and 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 2, would build on existing 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio programming such as Night Lines, Brave New Waves and RealTime. The original plan was codenamed "Clubhouse" and was developed by Susan Englebert, Robert Ouimet, Anton Leo and C. William Smith. The 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC filed an application with the CRTC to launch the network in 1998, 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 3/info/radio" target="_blank">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 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 was launched in 2000 as a converged webcasting project based in Vancouver, with its own servers and managed by 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio. The team consisted of Susan Englebert, Robert Ouimet, Dave Tonner, Loc Dao, Rob McLaughlin and other partners. 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 initially launched separate sites 120 Seconds, New Music Canada and Just Concerts through a collaboration between 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">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 3/info/radio" target="_blank">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". 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 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.
In 2003, RadioSonic was integrated into the 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 project, and was renamed 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 to reflect the change. With new host Alexis Mazurin, the program featured music and performances from the 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 website.
On June 2, 2005, 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 also launched a weekly podcast, hosted by Grant Lawrence. The hour-long podcast, which has also aired as a program on the satellite 3/info/radio" target="_blank">radio network, has ranked as the most downloaded Canadian podcast on the Internet, with an estimated 125,000 weekly listeners in 2006.




Satellite 3/info/radio" target="_blank">radio


Satellite 3/info/radio" target="_blank">radio was approved in Canada by the CRTC on June 18, 2005. Over the next several months, 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 was relaunched as a channel on Sirius Satellite 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio. The main 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 site was shut down for part of 2005 to facilitate the relaunch, although the podcast, the media-on-demand subsites and the Saturday night 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio Two program remained active.
The satellite 3/info/radio" target="_blank">radio service launched on December 3, 2005, at which time the weekend program on 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 2 became a live simulcast of the satellite 3/info/radio" target="_blank">radio service. The main 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 website was relaunched a few days earlier, now featuring a collaborative music blog and an Icecast stream of Canadian music.
The network's primary studio is located in the 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC Regional Broadcast Centre in Vancouver, although guest hosts typically hosted from an alternate 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC studio in their home city. Mazurin, the original host of 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 in its 3/info/radio" target="_blank">radio show format, died in October 2005, and the main Vancouver studio was named the Alexis Mazurin Studio in his memory.
In August 2006, 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 launched its own weekly chart show, The R3-30. Originally hosted by Craig Norris until he left the network to join 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio's new outlet for Kitchener-Waterloo, CBLA-FM-2, in 2013, the program was then taken over by Lana Gay.
On December 25, 2006, 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 held its first annual "Bucky Awards". The Bucky Awards were an awards celebration to promote independent Canadian music, and fans voted on the winners in each category.
The station aired on Sirius 94 from its launch until June 24, 2008, when it moved to Sirius 86 as part of a major realignment of the Sirius lineup. On May 4, 2011, the channel was again moved as part of a reorganization of Sirius' channel lineup to channel 152. On May 9, 2013 the channel was moved to channel 162 and was also launched on XM. The channel was removed from SiriusXM effective October 1, 2022.




3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 leaves 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio Two


On January 17, 2007, the 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC announced that as part of a major programming realignment on 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 2, that network would discontinue its 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 simulcast in March of that year. The final simulcast, which aired on March 17, was a retrospective broadcast which included past interviews with William Shatner and John Lydon, visits from past hosts David Wisdom and Leora Kornfeld, phone interviews with Buck 65, Joel Plaskett, Sara Quin and Jim Bryson, and live in-studio performances by John K. Samson and Christine Fellows, as well as listener requests for classic songs from any era in which 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 or its predecessors aired.
The R3-30, which was usually taped in advance and rebroadcast on 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio Two in a later time slot, also aired live from Vancouver that evening and incorporated listener phone calls into the program's usual format.




Webcast


From 2005 to 2009, the Icecast stream available from the network's website was not a simulcast of the satellite 3/info/radio" target="_blank">radio broadcast, but was programmed separately. Initially, the webstream consisted exclusively of music with the occasional identification break, but on September 14, 2007 it was relaunched with hosts and feature content, similar to but still programmed separately from the satellite 3/info/radio" target="_blank">radio station. Due to funding cuts, however, the two services were merged in June 2009, such that the webstream is now a straight simulcast of the satellite 3/info/radio" target="_blank">radio channel.
Prior to the merger, the two services had slightly different programming strategies – the satellite 3/info/radio" target="_blank">radio station aired a music mix of 85 per cent Canadian and 15 per cent international, while the web service's mix was 100 per cent Canadian. With the merger of the two services, the station announced that the program mix would be 100 per cent Canadian music on both platforms, although exceptions will be permitted for international music with some Canadian character – such as international artists covering Canadian songs, collaborations between Canadian and non-Canadian artists, international artists appearing on the bill with Canadian artists when the network is airing a live concert, or "honourary [sic] Canadian" artists such as Neko Case and Rose Melberg.
In February 2009, 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 participated with Exclaim! and aux.tv to launch X3, a new collaborative cross-promotional platform which sees all three outlets air feature content spotlighting a particular "Artist of the Month". X3 artists of the month have included K'naan, Malajube, Thunderheist, Japandroids, Apostle of Hustle, The Rural Alberta Advantage, Owen Pallett, and Jenn Grant.
In addition to the service's conventional 3/info/radio" target="_blank">radio programming, any song in the network's music library was able to be streamed on demand from the artist's profile page on the site. In May 2011, Joel Plaskett became the first artist in the network's history to reach one million on-demand plays.
In 2012, 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 was integrated into the new 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC Music service.




Podcast


Unlike Bande à part, which produced a number of special short run podcasts in addition to its regular weekly music podcast, 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 only produced its main music podcast through 2006.
As a result of the 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio Two schedule changes, on February 26, 2007 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 created several new podcasts to complement the original 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 podcast, including a daily New Music Canada Track of the Day and an hour-long weekly R3-30 podcast.
As well, the network also launched a new internet streaming program titled 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 Sessions, which featured live performances by artists at the 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 studio. The Sessions also aired as a program on Sirius 86. As of September 12, 2007, the Sessions program also appeared in podcast format. Sessions concerts have also aired on the 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC's cable television service bold.
Notably, all 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 podcasts were available in Ogg (Vorbis), a freely-licensed audio format, in addition to the more conventional mp3 format.

On April 20, 2007, as part of 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3's 100th podcast, a weekly video podcast was introduced. The new video-based podcast, R3TV, revolved around the personalities at 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 and featured a particular artist each week, who provided commentary for the podcast and had their music videos featured in the show. R3TV was also available as a channel on Internet television services such as Joost, YouTube and Miro Media Player.
In 2011, 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC 3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3 sponsored its first documentary movie, Winning America, about Canadian band Said the Whale.

This movie was produced and directed by Brent Hodge and Jon Siddall. It aired on 3/info/cbc" target="_blank">CBC on August 25, 2012 in BC, and then again nationally on October 20, 2012.
3/info/radio" target="_blank">Radio 3's next foray into video was in 2013, with the web series The Beetle Roadtrip Sessions. It followed host Grant Lawrence across Canada visiting various musicians and other personalities along the way, including The Darcys, Hollerado, Sam Roberts, Theo Fleury, Hawksley Workman and others. It was also directed by Brent Hodge. The Beetle Roadtrip Sessions won the award for Best Original Program or Series produced for Digital Media – Non-Fiction at the 2nd Canadian Screen Awards.
