CBC Radio Three is a website devoted to Canadian arts and music.
Operated by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Radio Three had its genesis in a 1997 plan to open a third radio network, complementing CBC Radio One and CBC Radio Two, devoted to youth culture. Although the original radio network proposal was abandoned, the CBC launched Radio Three as a pilot project through its new media division.
A cross between a webzine and an Internet radio stream, Radio Three includes both writing and music. It consists of a cluster of related websites, including , and , which offer streaming media. All of its sites can be accessed either independently or through the portal.
CBC Radio Three also rebroadcasts some of its content as a Saturday night program on CBC Radio Two.
CBC Radio Three won the 2003 Webby Award and People's Voice Award for Best Broadband site.
