Abstract

With the successful launch of "Canada Now", CBC British Columbia's new digital production facilities in downtown Vancouver have passed their first major test.  In the future, these state-of-the-art facilities will allow CBC to shift seamlessly into high definition television production.  This tour will give attendees a behind-the-scenes look at the studios and control rooms that support CBC Radio One and Two and CBC
Television in B.C.  It will also provide insight into the technical issues that confronted the regional engineering staff as they planned and implemented this major upgrade.
