CBC News: Breaking & Local

Canadian news in one place

CBC News: Breaking & Local brings together breaking stories, national reporting, international coverage and updates from across Canada. It suits readers who want a broad news source but still care about what is happening in their own province or city.

Choose the coverage that matters

The app lets you move between the main news feed and more local reporting, helping reduce the work of sorting through unrelated headlines. You can also follow major events, including sports coverage with schedules, results and video highlights when available.

• Read breaking, national, international and local news.
• Prioritise updates from selected Canadian regions.
• Receive alerts for topics and stories you choose.
• Save articles to read later when convenient.

More than a headline feed

Alongside written reporting, CBC News provides access to live broadcasts and programmes such as The National. Video coverage may link into CBC’s wider streaming services, so the app works best as a central news reader rather than a complete replacement for every CBC video app.

A well-established choice

Published by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the app has passed 1,000,000 installs and holds a 4.7 rating from more than 86,000 reviews. Those figures point to a widely used news app for people who want Canadian reporting with both national reach and local detail.
